Ryan — what is your goal with the cleanup? Part of the reason I think
you're getting nowhere on Wiktionary is that as far as anyone there
can tell you're just changing stuff for the fun of changing stuff (and
breaking it in the process...). If you can tell us what you're trying
to achieve, then (given that we wrote the code, and have a reasonably
good idea of how it's used), we can probably help you.

Can you possibly get any more hyperbolic? For your
information, I've
been trying to clean up the Javascript of
en.wiktionary.org this past
week, which is a total nightmare (and it's a sister project!). If you'd
like to help, feel free to join the discussions:

Yeah, the local CSS/JS cruft is definitely a
problem. I've tried doing
clean-up on a few wikis, but I usually just get chewed out by the local
admins for not discussing every change in detail (which obviously
doesn't scale for fixing 200+ wikis). I would love to hear ideas for how
to address this problem.
This caught my eye as Wikimedia has far more than 200
wikis. There seems to
be a shift happening within the Wikimedia Foundation. The sister projects
have routinely been ignored in the past, but things seem to be going further
lately....
Personally, I'm in favor of disbanding all of the projects that Wikimedia
has no intention of actively supporting in the near-future or even mid-range
future. I think the current situation in which certain sister projects are
supported in name only is unacceptable to the users and to the public.
