Back-compatibility hacks are added to the extension's and skin's source code as needed.</li> <li><b>release branches</b> (key: <i>rel</i>): For every <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Release_notes" title="Special:MyLanguage/Release notes">MediaWiki release</a>, there is a corresponding branch in the extension or skin. So <i>e.g.</i> if you use MediaWiki 1.42, you should use the REL1_42 branch of the extension or skin.</li> <li><b>long-term support release branches</b> (key: <i>ltsrel</i>): For every <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Release_notes" title="Special:MyLanguage/Release notes">MediaWiki release</a> that is a Long Term Support release (see <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Version_lifecycle#Release_policy" title="Special:MyLanguage/Version lifecycle">Version lifecycle release policy</a>) there is a corresponding branch in the extension or skin. So <i>e.g.</i> if you use MediaWiki 1.39, you should use the REL1_39 branch of the extension. If you use a non-LTS version of MediaWiki, usually you will need to use the extension's or skin's branch for the previous LTS version. For instance, MediaWiki 1.34 wikis using a ltsrel extension or skin would usually use the REL1_31 branch of that extension or skin.

CSS can be assumed to succeed for visual readers and should be used for presentation. The <b>Modern</b> layer (subdivided into support grades A, C, and X) defines optional enhancements and interactions written in client-side JavaScript. This layer may fail to load, arrive later, or not at all, including in modern browsers. This depends on various circumstances. To learn more, refer to <a href="https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Engineering/Guides/Frontend_performance_practices#Getting_started" class="extiw" title="wikitech:MediaWiki Engineering/Guides/Frontend performance practices">MediaWiki Engineering guidelines</a>. </p><p>The JavaScript requirements for the "Modern" layer are implemented via <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/resources/src/startup/startup.js#L9">a feature test</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Architecture#Startup_Module" title="Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Architecture">startup module</a>, inspired by the "<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://responsivenews.tumblr.com/post/18948466399/cutting-the-mustard">cutting the mustard</a>" approach. The modern layer currently requires JavaScript version <b>ES6 (ES2015)</b>. For MediaWiki developers, this means that you should not use syntax from later versions of JavaScript. This is enforced through ESLint rules in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://github.com/wikimedia/eslint-config-wikimedia">eslint-config-wikimedia</a>. </p><p>There is an ever-growing number of different web browsers and browser-capable devices in the world. Too many to actively test and support each one. To guide our practices around browser support, we define three support grades. Each grade represents a different category of browsers. </p><p>In practice, the only difference between browser grades is our investment in testing and support. All browsers receive the same server responses and will try to load the Modern layer if it passes the required JavaScript capabilities. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Grade_A" data-mw-thread-id="h-Grade_A-General_information"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Grade_A-General_information"></span>Grade A<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Grade_A-General_information"></span></h4></div> <p>Grade A browsers receive the <b>highest level of support</b>. MediaWiki takes advantage of capabilities in modern browsers while allowing a graceful fallback for older browsers. New features developed must work in these browsers (whether or not in a degraded form). </p><p>Browsers in this category are known (listed below), <b>actively tested</b> against and meet the requirements for the "Modern" layer.

Our HTTP responses are compatible with these browsers (<i>e.g.</i>, HTTP features we rely on, character encoding, and image formats used by the content; must work in these browsers). In the front end, this means content is presented in a readable manner, and content and account actions can be performed, but JavaScript features may or may not work. To browsers that don't pass the feature test mentioned <a href="#General_information">above</a>, modern JavaScript is not served at all. </p><p>Browsers in this category are known (listed below), and are <b>rarely tested</b> against. Problems users perceive in these browsers are addressed with <b>high priority</b>. However, mitigation may focus on ensuring that available functionality is not broken; if acceptable from a product perspective, this may result in the affected enhancement being disabled (whether or not temporarily) rather than restored in these browsers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Grade_X" data-mw-thread-id="h-Grade_X-General_information"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Grade_X-General_information"></span>Grade X<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Grade_X-General_information"></span></h4></div> <p>All other browsers are referred to as "Grade X". </p><p>MediaWiki handles these browsers the same as Grade A and Grade C browsers: there is no user agent filter, and if they pass the feature test for the "Modern" layer, they receive JavaScript enhancements. </p><p>Browsers not included in any other group belong to this category, including: </p> <ul><li>Less popular browsers that are based on, or derived from, known modern browsers (<i>e.g.</i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Internet" class="extiw" title="w:Samsung Internet">Samsung Internet</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Browser" class="extiw" title="w:UC Browser">UC Browser</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser)" class="extiw" title="w:Vivaldi (web browser)">Vivaldi</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser)" class="extiw" title="w:Opera (web browser)">Opera</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat" class="extiw" title="w:GNU IceCat">IceCat</a>).</li> <li>Beta versions of modern browsers. These are considered Grade X if they are not yet tested against by us. Treating these as capable ensures optimal user experience in these browsers and facilitates upstream testing.</li> <li>Browsers or browser versions that are no longer developed or maintained and incompatible with modern Internet standards. These might receive the "Basic" mode or might be unable to even connect to the web server.</li></ul> <p>This principle means users of new and evolving browsers are given a chance to have a modern experience. </p><p>These browsers are not common enough to justify the added maintenance cost for software development and are essentially <b>never tested</b>. Problems users perceive in these browsers are given <b>low priority</b>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Browser_support_matrix" data-mw-thread-id="h-Browser_support_matrix-Browsers"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Browser_support_matrix-Browsers"></span>Browser support matrix<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Browser_support_matrix-Browsers"></span></h3></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Desktop" data-mw-thread-id="h-Desktop-Browser_support_matrix"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Desktop-Browser_support_matrix"></span>Desktop<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Desktop-Browser_support_matrix"></span></h4></div> <p>The principles and different grades described above apply to MediaWiki core and extensions alike. The support matrix below applies these grades in the context of MediaWiki core, Wikimedia Foundation infrastructure, and any MediaWiki extensions that decide to follow it. Individual extensions may have their own support matrix distributing browsers among the different levels of support.

Where browser usage is over 5%, a modern experience (Grade A) is supported. Basic support (Grade C) is provided for anything over 0.1% during the previous 12 months. In mobile we strive to provide a Grade B. Users of grade B may or may not get JavaScript and we do not test to the same level as A, thus we prioritise bug fixes lower.
