:::See {{phab|T232285}} for a spirited discussion about using Babel for this specifically; I imagine some arguments there also apply to TS. TS declarations themselves are {{phab|T263914}}; a front-end build step in MediaWiki itself is {{phab|T199004}}.

::::They're finally converting JSDuck to JSDoc? 🎉 Finally! It's a bit disappointing that the Babel idea was shot down, though. It would have provided a universally better experience for writing user scripts. <span style="background:#ffff00;color:#00159c;">'''''[[User:Chlod|Chlod]]'''''</span>&nbsp;<small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod|say&nbsp;hi!]])</small> 18:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

:::I wrote about the issue on [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Proper ECMAScript support|Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Proper ECMAScript support]], and there are discussions ongoing {{phab|T75714}}. Some people are so afraid of new technology, to quote from an issue written just a few days ago: ''"JS is a hazard and was a mistake."''. For me there is just no way I can justify the amount of work and time needed to produce even the smallest thing. It's really a shame because I think this is a major hindrance for the loads of skilled JS/ES/TS devs who regularly contribute to OSS projects that may be interested in contributing here...
