Notes

• This post by Timo Tijhof (Krinkle) from a couple of years back may help to clarify some things about the situation with ResourceLoader vs other, 'local' ways of using JS.
• ResourceLoader/Core_modules#mediaWiki.loader - don't use document.write but mw.loader.load
• What about JS that executes
  • on page load =>
  • after page load =>

ResourceLoader clients:

• mw.loader.load (modules , [type])
• mw.loader.using (dependencies, [ready], [error]) : to be used if there's a dependency on modules; executes callback function after loading those modules.
• jQuery.getScript : for callbacks on external scripts
