Sorry, I strongly disagree that the current system works. Every so often we discover that a wiki has been loading external resources in site-wide JS for months. Local sysops might have no idea on what they're doing, and just copy and paste what someone told them to do. Edits like [1] make that terribly obvious. I filed bug 69445[2] as a tracking bug to implement a sane code review process for these pages. I don't imagine it will happen anytime soon, but now seems like a good time to start discussion about it.
