I think that Staff has already made a first step with the MediaWiki:ImportJS. It would be trivial to develop a simple javascript gadget that picks up scripts installed here along with their description, and presents it in each wikia, instead of needing to add it manually. In fact, I was planning to write this for myself. A small list of scripts that I can enable or disable on demand without fiddling with JS. The structure would be something like:


 * A json file containing most scripts names, and location


 * Settings and description, and other script metadata ( scrapped from the infobox data and maybe a separate definition file).


 * A js tool to pick up this information and allow one to import it directly from MediaWiki:ImportJS

If gadgets ever gets enabled  globably it would still be trivial to migrate all scripts and their definition to Extension:Gadgets. It would also be good as it would automatically prevent scripts from loading site-wide using those settings.
