Hi!
When designing the ContentHandler, I asked around about whether JS and CSS pages
should be parsed as wikitext, so categories etc would work. The gist of the
responses I got was "naw, lets get rid of that". So I did (though PST is still
applied - Tim asked for that at the Berlin Hackathon).
Sure enough, people are complaining now, see
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41155>. Also note that an older
request for disablingt parsing of script pages was closed as WONTFIX:
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32858>.
I'm inclined to (at least optionally) enable the parsing of script pages, but
I'd like to get some feedback first.

Yeah, as more elaborately put on the bug[1], it was disabled in ContentHandler without
dedicated discussion because it was thought of as a minor oddity that should be removed as
a bug.
We know now that (though it might have been a bug originally) it is a major feature that
unless replaced, must not be removed.
