It helps to get permission, because the source wiki is likely to have user who know best how the template works and are more likely to help with problems or fix bugs. I know, and agree that you should get permission. Its just that ive seen staff get upset seeing another user copying their .css or .jss and not giving persmission or calling it their own.

Who is "staff" in this case? CSS and JS should be treated like templates. Copying JS without understanding how it works is very dangerous as it can break your wiki. It's pretty obvious who I mean by staff, the admins of the Wiki. And some people undertsand it enough to modify it, or just literally copy and paste the entire thing.
