query is a dependant sub-module of externalLinkProblem.js.

Provide data to be displayed by /gui on content pages. This code will ask by generated URL and react when answer arrives.

Mechanism

 * A tool is supposed to answer a query with project  and   with database results of observed URL with problems.
 * The query might be applied via interactive form, too, which should resolve current page names as well.
 * Since collection of observations will be done over months and request could happen a year later, the database will be organized by pageid rather than by page title, which could have been changed meanwhile.
 * Results can be called by a certain URL. One output mode might be something like  which means JavaScript in MediaWiki context. That should generate a snippet as shown below.
 * If any results found, the  component is expected to deliver detailed information. If no problems known, this should be missing or set to  . Details of the   array are listed on /gui page.

Snippet

 * The answer has to provide  MIME type.
 * A JSON object could be provided as another output mode.
 * This is safer and reduced to a pure data object which is not executable.
 * However, the  is deliberately separated from domains like   to avoid malicious effects. By same origin policy etc. JSON won’t be accepted.
 * An executable snippet as described below might be necessary to cross domain borders, if CORS was not established.
 * The application has to show open source code to make clear that no undesired statements are embedded into the answer.
