We created the Twitter, VK and Weibo widgets because they were some of the most common usages, along with Spotify and SoundCloud (which aren't exactly social websites).

Removing code/reverting JS edits still requires approval because you may be reverting to a revision that has not been approved, and even code removal can potentially open a security hole.

We certainly don't want to be taking time away from normal editing, but these changes are necessary. If you fixed the code at the core of wika you would not need to go around making fixes to individual wikis.

Spend time fixing the core code instead of plugging it.

As for the verbatim tag if you fixed it's security issues or rebuilt it form the ground upwards then again you would not have to go around making edits to 1000's of individual wikis.

I'm more then fed-up having to deal with your issues, but I care passionately about the subjects I work on.

I think I may do away with adding content via JS widgets and if the content needs embedding then I'll just not use it and just provide a link to the related website instead.

As we can't be sure that at a later date you will not make more changes.

So back to basics for my wikis which will no doubt please wikia as by default they be more mobile friendly which is your current obsession.
