Unless I've been especially unobservant lately, the Wikia JavaScript login applet now runs on Special:UserLogin. Previously, Special:UserLogin didn't run JavaScript. The security advantage of Special:UserLogin was that it didn't run JavaScript. I think that's a pretty big deal. Is the change intended? (There seems no way to me that it can't be.)
