Manual:Safemode

The safemode parameter can be added to any MediaWiki URL to load the page without including any on-wiki JavaScript or on-wiki stylesheet pages. User scripts like User:Example/common.js and user styles such as User:Example/common.css are not loaded.

Note that if $wgAllowSiteCSSOnRestrictedPages is set to true, site-wide scripts will be considered "safe" and this parameter will not disable them.

This can be useful for debugging broken JavaScript gadgets, as described at Help:Locating broken scripts .

Usage

Append the parameter safemode=1 to any MediaWiki URL.

Examples:

• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki?safemode=1
• https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki&action=history&safemode=1

<td class="mw-version-versionbox" title="<translate nowrap> The latest stable version is <tvar name=1>1.41</tvar></translate>">

<translate> ≥</translate> 1.41

Gerrit change 940156

<translate> MediaWiki version:</translate>

Since MediaWiki 1.41, there's also a preference under Appearance → Advanced options: "⧼tog-forcesafemode⧽", which can be used to enable this mode persistently.
