It seems like people have some pretty good reasons for parsing JS/CSS pages (categorization, backlinks, speedy deletion templates, etc.), so unless there is some significant disadvantage to MW for enabling parsing, I'm going to have to agree with the bug filer. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo@gmail.com

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.
