Now I could be wrong and Wikia could try and prevent us from using any non-offiical scripts from dev.wikia.com, but I sure hope not. Hmm, wouldn't user level scripts be subjected to the same peer review, e.g. if someone creates a malicious script, and many users import them.

I think that imports as we know it will likely cease to exist. They'll likely either be posted in a new namespace or something.

In my opinion there are a lot of tasks done using js scripts that could easily be converted to a lua module, and make it far more efficient.

Anyway, I think you're right it is best not to jump the gun for now.
