We've talked a good deal about adding a "global" stash of things to be used
across WMF wikis and more widely (see this RfC
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Global_scripts> for
example).

​We've talked a good deal about adding a proper code review integration for
code written "in" a wiki (but there's not an RfC, because it's taken as
given).

Ideally we'd do the two together (or the latter first) to make this sane
for everyone.

A code review system could easily support (and indeed probably should)
linting of content to help users. Note that our use of Ace in CodeEditor
does warnings like this for JS, for example. In "real" code review we're
encouraging the use of jscs to enforce coding style conventions, and it
might be worth doing something like this?

​Maybe? I don't think it's necessary as a distinct RfC…
