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)
