Templates in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] are not only expanded when viewing the stylesheet at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MedaiWiki:Common.js>, but also in the generated stylesheet code <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js>. This behaviour is inconsistent with how templates are expanded in personal stylesheets. Not expanding templates in the generated stylesheet would allow documentation to be placed in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] without significantly increasing the size of the generated stylesheet.
Display in the page itself has been fixed with r23657 et al. (see bug 10432 and related). I can confirm that action=raw still expands templates for CSS/JS pages. Workaround for now: don't use templates in them. ;)
Is this fixed by ContentHandler?
This bug also applies to user JS and CSS pages; description updated. (In reply to Nemo from comment #2) > Is this fixed by ContentHandler? No.

This is fixed, since https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript keeps every ocurrence of "{{referències}}" intact, therefore not increasing the size of the JS page.
It's not actually completely fixed. Things like subst still present a problem, and pages still end up in erroneous categories.
