Hi:
That's good to know. Do many MW admin/sysops allow the use of Common.js
through the settings switch $wgUseSiteJs? Some people seem to think that it
is 'dangerous'. I don't know the capabilities of JavaScript but my IT
experience would say that JavaScript cannot write to areas that it is not
permitted to write to. Hence I would conclude that any changes I made using
JavaScript on my sub-wiki would only be able to address my sub-wiki, not the
top level one and not any other sub-wiki. That doesn't sound dangerous to
the users of other wikis. Is this argument flawed?
Why do I want access to Common.js? Very simple application, I want to set my
own Favicon and not use the one set at the top level. :-)

All pages within the Mediawiki: namespace are automatically full protected
[hard so they can't be unprotected], so only users with sysop/admin rights
on the wiki would be able to edit it.
