Line 266:

:: I think this could be possibly done by user scripts (a skin-independent solution should be placed into [[User:SAKryukov/common.js]]). But currently I cannot say exactly how.

::: Well, I can tell you how. Yes, it's doable, but no fun and can be a good waste of time instead of gain. First, JavaScript executes code accessed through a Preferences text element, and it is executed on the server-side, I can see it by the JavaScript engine behavior — it is impossibly ancient. Not only this is boring, but also the server-side execution is questionable: what if some user mess up things badly? hope there is some reasonable protection... — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] 04:41, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

:: BTW: Since I have seen somewhere that you call yourself a perfectionist, I think you should take a closer look at the idea(s) behind the Wiki medium. It is not a book, it is not a forum and it is not a mixture of both. Without the claim to completeness, I would summarize my experiences like this today: The focus is on joint constructive work with the emphasis on content. (I think a good resource is a series of interviews with Wiki inventor Ward Cunningham on artima, I link the 5th and the last part here, because the TOC of the whole collection is only here available.) --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 09:13, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
