Description yes0song 2008-03-16 12:53:12 UTC
Currently, the contents of javascript and css pages are rendered in <pre> tag. However, I think this can cause inconvenient sometimes.

In Chinese Wikipedia, administrators have described .js/.css source code in MediaWiki: namespace using wiki syntax via /* */ comment lines, e.g.:

/*
== 中文處理 ==
 
*/
//设置中文语言页
var htmlE=document.documentElement;
htmlE.setAttribute("lang",wgUserLanguage);
htmlE.setAttribute("xml:lang",wgUserLanguage);
 
//返回繁簡字串
function wgULS(hans,hant,cn,tw,hk,sg,zh){
...
}
 
/*
 
== IE兼容性修正 ==
*/
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && document.compatMode == "CSS1Compat"){
(function(){...}
 
...}

(from [[zh:MediaWiki:Commons.js]])

This was very convenient when MediaWiki of old version was used. In this format, maintainers could divide scripts into sections and it was easy to check what functions are wroted in the page via the ToC made in the wiki page.

However, this became useless now because current MediaWiki software processes .js/.css pages via <pre> tag! Of course, the "<pre> tag-processing" has some merits, but has lost other good points.

Therefore, I request to add new "action=" parameter (for example, "action=wikisyntax"). When "action=wikisyntax", MediaWiki software renders .js/.css pages via wiki syntax not "<pre> tag-processing".

Duping to bug 10410, which collects these issues (linking, sections for JS/CSS pages)
