Apparently whatever patch Wikimedia has that makes it possible to Special:Export with modules and template dependencies doesn't really apply to Wikia (e.g. special:export doesn't show dependencies).

Making matters worse is the fact that now wikia has essentially forked the scribunto import/require functionality because of global modules (Require("Dev:") isn't part of the original scribunto's spec.

Anyway, there's some hope. We can use this (https://gist.github.com/nahiyan8/4c017c8bd97fffa42138) script, or convert it to a javascript to obtain this information.

I've also asked staff for a similar functionality for global modules but due to the performance concerns they correctly noted that this may never be possible.
