Frequently Asked Questions

Help!!! My scripts won't import!: Because Discussions isn't quite MediaWiki, basic functionalities won't work. JQuery does work, but that's about it. To import scripts, you can use; $.getScript("https://community.fandom.com/index.php?title=Special:MyPage/discussionsKiller.javascript&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
Is there jQuery in Discussions?: Not by default, but jQuery 3.3.1 is imported by CustomizeDiscussions so you can use its functionalities.
Can anybody edit .javascript pages?: On Community Central, .javascript pages have been locked to only the owner by AbuseFilter. As an alternative, admins can edit any MediaWiki pages which is locked to admins only.
Is this available in other browsers?: YES! It is now available in Google Chrome and Firefox.
