Help talk:JavaScript review process

Response time
At Community Connect, a turnaround time for the review process was given as 24-hours. Is that still true? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 10 Sep 2015 2:48 PM Pacific


 * We are certainly aiming for a fast turnaround - but we really can't be very specific at this point, as this is an entirely new process for everyone involved. If the process turns out to be too slow, we'll work out how to deal with that. This is certainly an ongoing project, after all. 12:09, September 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * What is the current average response time? The revision I submitted for review 11 hours ago still hasn't been reviewed. -452 03:04, December 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * I can't really give an average response time. What I can say is that I've had a revision take less than a day, maybe even less than 12 hours to be approved. I also have had revisions take up to 2 full days to be approved. --

Chat.js
Does the javascript test mode apply to the chat? If it doesn't, I do feel it probably should if possible, given that chat modifications/scripts are common and naturally we'd want to see if they work properly or not before sending them off for review.

 * I believe it should apply to chat too. Let us know via Special:Contact if it does not! 15:47, October 15, 2015 (UTC)

Outside Wikia Recommendations/Approvals
How can one submit an outside-of-Wikia library and/or script to be reviewed and approved? It says a "case-by-case basis" and yet it lacks the information as to where one can create a case for a non-Wikia script. ~Curiouscrab (talk) 20:33, November 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think using the comments within the JS file that calls would be a good place for the initial rationale. If the reviewers have concerns about it, the discussion can then continue on the JS talk page. We can't provide specific rules about what would and would not be allowed, as they are very case-dependent and will likely change over time. 20:13, November 9, 2015 (UTC)

Editing after submitting

 * Q: What if I need to make more edits after I submit my script for review?
 * A: Each JS page can only have one revision in the review queue. While you can make further edits after requesting a review, only the originally requested revision will be reviewed. If you want us to review a newer version, simply submit the page for review again - this will overwrite the previous request.

After making a test edit, submitting it, then editing again, the message "#X is awaiting review" is replaced with only "#X needs to be submitted", saying nothing the status of the previous submission.

Can anyone confirm that after you submit a revision for review, then make further edits, that the originally submitted revision remains in the review queue and will eventually be approved/denied? -452 03:04, December 5, 2015 (UTC)
