That seems reasonable, but it's less clear to me
that this should be
bundled with / part of the 'editinterface' right, at least as it is
currently managed (the ability to be able to change wording of system
message is only related to being able to change javascript/CSS by way of
hysterical raisins).
Regardless of which process, in the end, is adopted to make management
of sitewide customization to javascript etc, separating that from
"normal" editinterface seems to me to be prerequisite.
This is true, but prerequisite to what? What I'm saying is that
switching off local scripting in general until [unspecified condition]
is met is going to be an immediately bad thing for every WMF wiki that
doesn't get lots of WMF attention, which is most of them. So that's a
thing that shouldn't be done just because admins on two wikis are
acting like my daughter just before I withdraw her computer access.
