Hello!

Well, I thought it was expected both things, because many of the Common.js
files currently have

<source lang="JavaScript">

at the beginning, and this is used because some time ago the code was shown
above the edit box. For example, at en.wp, the code is there since 7 May 2008:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&diff=prev&oldid=210884538

So, if the code is to be shown above the edit box, the feature request would be
just to have the automatic highlighting, without the need of using the <source>
tag... (should I open a new bug for this?)

If the code shouldn't be above the edit box, then I think the preview button
should be renamed when viewing css/js pages, as suggested by Ilmari Karonen...
