Once we have a set of standards in place - something that can be replicated and modified reasonably simply - I'll put it on dev.wikia.com. I guess you understood my point perfectly. Beyond simply adopting, the core philosophy of Mediawiki is colaboration. The Mediawiki namespace, Special:CSS, and Common.js need to be restricted because they  can have disastrous effects on every single page and even Wikia's servers. But regular pages shouldn't generally require admin supervision because that stifles creativity.

There is also an incorrect assumption that all admins know how to edit their Special:CSS, meanwhile ignorant admins could cause havoc to dozens of pages.

It's probably the best idea going forward, but it'll be a while before it comes to wikia, if it ever does. Thanks for the heads-up. That particular RFC has been going for 2 years. Chances are they will not reach consensus any time soon. But it is good to know progress is being made.
