Gabriel-
The css and js pages are editable only to the user and developers, they appear protected to anybody else.
Ah, CSS as user-subpages. Always seemed like the most natural way to customize this stuff.
IMHO normal sysop rights should apply. Sysops are trusted users, so they can be expected not to edit other people's stylesheets willy-nilly. (Mmmh .. forcing users to endure red on black text might be a nice alternative to banning ;-)
These edits currently do show up in RC. I think they should, so other users can get inspirations for their own styles. However, we should probably change the parser so that it doesn't try to render pages with titles of the pattern
User:.*.css User:.*.js
and instead displays them as raw text (maybe simply by encapsulating the loaded content in <nowiki> before entering the render stage of the parser).
Possible future innovations: * "Preview this style" -> When on a user CSS/JS subpage, set this as my style for the current session only. * "Use this style" -> when on a user CSS/JS subpage, make this my own custom style (i.e. copy the page to the top revision of my own user subpage for that skin)
