Nah this is different. I'm talking about a way to modify the stuff at http://irc.wikia.com and gateway portals like http://irc.wikia.com/uncyclopedia and also add channels to the access list. Some simple JS like that is something completely different. This is a easier more open way to add channels to the Gateway itself without a long wait time. And also an easier way to create the portal pages.
