Easier for us, yes, but events fired when Wikia does things are:


 * 1) Largely undocumented. The only example I know of is when the Visual editor loads which was gained by asking staff.
 * 2) Extra code that Wikia aren't necessarily going to use themselves. Wikia don't support custom scripts and very rarely cater for them being used. There are some exceptions, such as when AjaxRC produced a memory leak, but even then it was a long time before it was confirmed it was a bug with jQuery.collapsible rather than AjaxRC itself. Very little of my code is designed to be used outside of what I use it for, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case with lots of others too.

It's still much better than using a timer, and if we really wanted we could add a polyfill for when mutation observers aren't supported.
