Hmm, in many cases that could work, but maybe instead of disabling verbatim, MediaWiki edits could go through the same reviewing process? (but only ones that contain script/HTML syntax, the others, notably those with just plain wikitext, could freely go after being checked by a machine filter).

There is another problem though: wikiamobile skin, where absolutely no standard javascript/css works and any code that is absolutely necessary needs to be injected that way. I get it that wikia wants its sites to work on washing machines, but my phone is not a washing machine. I usually switch to desktop skin due to those limitations and never had performance issues. I dream of a skin that is designed for small touch devices, while at the same time not limiting me much and even allowing me to maintain a wiki comfortably.

Well, maybe I went slightly off-topic, but if we had a skin designed for decent decent phones instead of (or in addition to) washing machines, we could at least get rid of that one place where it's irreplacable.

I've messaged and messaged a few staff such as Kirkburn and DaNASCAT about various bugs inside the Wikiamobile skin, but its not a priority as the staff I messaged reported horrid problems from trying to leave all the code and CSS in. Perhaps they're right, but a solution is needed especially for table widths.

And I hope Helios and HTTPS come by September as its nice to know I can admin without being hacked or used to demote other users indefinitely by most or any means.

PS: Feel free to read the following thread, I don't think it is massively high on their priorities and the staff always have other problems and updates to deal with.
