Hey,
The problem is coming from the Resource Loader [0] changes in MediaWiki
1.17, which loads JavaScript, such as wikibits.js, which contains
addOnloadHook, at the end of page. Scripts attempting to use it before that
point break. The solution is to simply use the resource loader when it's
available. I have already changed SMWOutputs::requiredHeadItems [1] a while
back to do exactly this. I'm not sure this covers 100% of the SMW JavaScript
that got broken by the resource loader, so it'd be nice if people could try
out trunk to see if everything is ok.
MediaWiki ships it's own jQuery since 1.16. SMW has it's own copy to be able
to use it with MW 1.15.x. If the installed MW has it's own jQuery, that copy
is used.
In any case, I think there is still work to be done to take full advantage
of the benefits the resource loader provides. This will require some
re-ordering or even re-writing of scripts at places though.
