+1 (forgot to vote), even though I don’t like that we make the core larger than it could
be. See IRC discussion at

  Hi devs,
 Problem:
 * We have several ways of getting the main wiki id and the current wiki id:
 ** way 1: $services.wiki.mainWikiId and $services.wiki.currentWikiId
 ** way 2: $xcontext.getMainWikiName() and $context.getDatabase()
 * In menu_macros.vm we set: #set ($mainWikiId = $services.wiki.mainWikiId)
 ** This is used in some other templates such as drawer.vm:
 #set ($hasHomeWikiAdmin = $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('admin', $xcontext.user,
"${mainWikiId}:XWiki.XWikiPreferences”))
 ** This means that currently is a module doesn’t declare a dependency on the wiki module,
its functional tests will fail with:

 Solution:
 * Make the Wiki API Module and the Wiki Script Module a core API (ie the most minimal
version of XWiki cannot work without them)
 Actions to take:
 * Add a dep on these 2 modules in PackagerMojo.java
 * Deprecate $xcontext.getMainWikiName() and $context.getDatabase() and favor using
$services.wiki.mainWikiId and $services.wiki.currentWikiId (once we finish adjusting all
places, move xcontext.getMainWikiName() and context.getDatabase to the oldcore legacy
module).
 * Remove all the checks we do to check for the availability of the wiki script service.
For example:
 admin.vm: #if ("$!services.wiki" != '' &&
$services.wiki.currentWikiId != $services.wiki.mainWikiId)
 Activity.xml: #if ("$!services.wiki" != '' &&
$services.wiki.mainWikiId == $services.wiki.currentWikiId)
 menuview.vm: #set ($isWikiAPIAvailable = ("!$services.wiki" != '')
&& ("!$services.wiki.user" != ''))
 CreateWiki.xml: #if ($services.wiki && $services.wiki.creationjob)
 WDYT?
 Thanks
