As it stands (i dont live in js land, correct me if I'm wrong), its widely agreed having hooks for user-scripts to hook into js-based extensions like upload wizard and other parts of mw is a good thing. Its not neccesarily 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.
