If you have this for example: var something = 'something' //begin your script var something = 'another thing' console.log(something) //end your script Then the result will be 'another thing', regardless of how it's defined outside of the script. Sorry if I'm missing something and just being stupid and wasting everyone's time here. I'm still learning JavaScript so I have the right to be stupid and waste everyone's time. :p Never mind. What I was saying would be a faulty script anyway, but right now I'm trying to add in functionality with interwiki links so I probably won't get around to adding in variables.

@curiouscrab, the longer variables are the more confusing they become, especially if you use a bunch of tables. I'm not sure what you're saying. The current debate is about using variables, not having them be too long.
