The merged changeset included changes which were not advertised, causing pywikibot to break. See T110559 The wbgetentities JSON 'entities' is now an array/list of entities instead of a mapping/dictionary of 'Qd' => entity. On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 12:33 AM, Addshore

I'm not sure, if an overall new skin is a really good idea. In my opinion, Wikipedia (and other wmf wikis) needs the experienced users, as well as "the person who think, that Wikipedia is written by paid people". While the first group could maybe handle a complete new skin, i'm sure, that all

Another solution is to use a JS parser, such as Acorn [1] to parse the JS. It can be used as a command line tool (passing the --silent) option to it, which makes it only return the exit code which we can use to check whether the syntax was valid or not. The bigger question, probably, is that
