Hi Ditto! I’m Alex, the Wiki Manager assigned to Overlord Wiki. I did some Vanguard work here two years ago, & now I’m here to assist your Wiki full time if you ever need anything (I’m  on Discord if you need to get in touch). I’ll be around occasionally to see how things are, or to update you. Right now though, I have a proposal for you. Your ImportJS file is importing a great many scripts that probably shouldn’t be site-wide, so many in fact that it is slowing down page load times on desktop for some readers & might even be negatively impacting your SEO via a “community weight discount” (when pages are so slow that search engines penalize your entire site for it). To fix this problem, I’d like to suggest that you clear out most of MediaWiki:Common.js & reduce the number of ImportJS imports to about 5-10 necessary ones that the entire site uses. Then, what I can do is have the Gadgets extension enabled & move all of those old imports over to some optional Gadgets that users & Admins can enable in Preferences, so you get to keep using all these great tools. Alternatively, I could also write a short JS snippet for you that will only load the extra scripts for Admins, or I can give you an  statement for you to put in your own local JS file so that it just loads for you. Either way, you get to keep using all these helpful extensions while your readers will get substantially higher quality load times. What do you think?
