From where I'm standing a far better solution would be to introduce an extra user class which can only be given by Wikia staff, and only after sufficient demonstration of proficiency with JavaScript, which allows editing of code.

The whole thing just reeks of over-protectivity. How many wikis use custom JavaScript? And how often do JavaScript incidents occur? To force all users to have their code submitted for review just seems like overkill. if you bothered to actually read DaNASCAT's above response, then you would have found that 4% of the 330,000 wikis constantly change their JS and that is 13,200 wikis by calculation. perhaps you like to figure out errors on your own if the editor doesn't throw a warning, sometimes you may still need to go ask a competent user for help so what's the harm in checking say imports are correct?

additionally, it was mentioned that we may get a new global group. that would be great, especially if it either involved their tech support staff (no idea if they have the time to be fast) or the current list of codeeditors from the dev wiki.
