Template:JavaScript → Template:JavaScript navbox – To make room for a new Template:JavaScript that can be used as a wrapper for edit requests to .js pages with source highlighting and background coloring. Examples would look like:

{{JavaScript|remove|
   /* section */
   var section = true;
   if(!section){
      alert("LIES!");
   }
}}

resulting in:

   /* section */
   var section = true;
   if(!section){
      alert("LIES!");
   }

or

{{JavaScript|add|
   /* section */
   var section = true;
   if(section){
      alert("You've spoken the truth!");
   }
}}

resulting in:

   /* section */
   var section = true;
   if(section){
      alert("You've spoken the truth!");
   }

Oppose

Support/Oppose

Support the move of this template. Oppose the proposed reuse of this name. It should be "{{edit javascript}}" instead, just like {{edit request}} , {{edit protected}} , {{edit semiprotected}}. It should NOT BE {{JavaScript}} or {{javascript}} ; a more beneficial use of this template location would be a formatting template that uses LUA to format JS code samples. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 06:57, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an edit request itself (which would still use the main {{Edit protected}} because only admins can edit .js pages (excluding your own in your userspace, but you would need to submit a request for that_). My proposed replacement is a formating template that uses mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi to format JS code samples. Any formating template that uses Lua to format JS code samples would be located at Module:JavaScript. Technical 13 (talk) 07:08, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. Your nomination rationale makes it look like creating an edit request template. Making {{JavaScript}} a JS formatting template is a good idea. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 08:12, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
