Details

Whether or not to assign configuration variables to the global window object.

If this is set to false, old code using deprecated variables like:

if ( window.wgRestrictionEdit ) ...

or:

if ( wgIsArticle ) ...

will no longer work and needs to use mw.config instead. For example:

if ( mw.config.exists('wgRestrictionEdit') )

or:

if ( mw.config.get('wgIsArticle') )
