What should this 'right' be named? Among the standard right no "tech" or "expert programming", perhaps because it's not a standard feature of the MediaWiki engine. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8213631/javascript-in-mediawiki

It just Wikia so damn special and broken. It isn't. Wikia does not allow adding raw script tags like that post author wants to do. The issue is with the potential of malicious scripts being added to Common.js etc., which is a core MediaWiki feature, as it has always been. But if you have a wiki farm with hundreds of thousands of wikis and a global user database, this becomes a security issue.
