agreed having hooks for user-scripts to hook into js-based extensions like

agreed that having support for magic wiki-text altering templates on the
mediawiki level is a good thing. As far as i am aware, nobody is currently
trying to make a framework for that use case on the mediawiki level (beyond
generic support for js and js abstractions for api access)

I'm not seeing decent JS "framework" either; where one wants to have the
contributor move or create a page as a part of gadget work, he has to code a
textbox-which-checks-and-probably-also-autocompletes-a-page-name manually with little
means available of sharing his JS subroutine or object for other gadgets -- on multiple
projects -- to reuse.
