I am just curious if anyone knows the reasoning behind having such stringent restrictions on the namespace used for JS scripts. As far as I can tell, aside from the pre-defined personal JS pages, JS can only be posted under the MediaWiki namespace; and that requires admin status. So if you are trying to develop a script for someone, you have only a few options: I can understand why you wouldn't allow it in something like the main namespace, but I don't really see why you can't allow it in the User namespace. Perhaps it is related to the JS review process? 
 * 1) Place the script in a location that doesn't make much sense
 * 2) *A MediaWiki page on a wiki you admin even if you don't intend to use it there
 * 3) *One of your personal JS pages; in which case you will need to do a large deletion after
 * 4) Ask for admin status on their wiki
