Comment (by dd32):

 Looks like this is due to the Codex theme being designed for an ancient
 version of MediaWiki. The theme hasn't been keeping up with changes, past
 what's required for it to be usable.

 Looks like the immediate solutions are
  1. Stop loading wikibits.js as it's dependancies are no longer met
 (MediaWiki has long moved onto a different JS pattern)
  2. Stop loading GTM for the codex
  3. Upgrade the theme

 3 is out, as we're unlikely to upgrade the theme, unless anyone with good
 mediawiki knowledge would like to volunteer to do so.
 2 is the easiest option, but I'm sure not most ideal.
 1 is therefor the best option I guess, it'll mean there's probably
 something broken elsewhere in the codex, but it's been broken for at least
 a year at this point.
