== Do we need this? ==

There already is Category:JavaScript libraries; is this page really necessary? -[[User:Shai-kun|Shai-kun]] 03:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

: I would be interested not so much in a pure list which, as you indicate, can simply be accessed through the category, but in a comparison like [[Comparison of wiki software|this]]. It would help people make an informed decision.--[[User:Adoniscik|Adoniscik]] ([[User talk:Adoniscik|talk]]) 02:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to bring this up again in 2019 -- the number of important JavaScript libraries is massive and too much to keep up with, trying to list and classify them all would be insane, and coming up short provides a disservice to anyone who would read the article. --[[User:Htmlghozt|Htmlghozt]] ([[User talk:Htmlghozt|talk]]) 11:01, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

I think additional categorization makes it easier for people to decide and a simple long list as the only substance available is hardly too much helpful. [[User:Irvaaf|Irvaaf]] ([[User talk:Irvaaf|talk]]) 11:07, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

== Proposed merge with [[List of web application frameworks#JavaScript]] ==

Line 27 ⟶ 37:

I'm involved with the php.js library (not the owner but a main developer), and think php.js has the user base to be considered noteworthy, but I'm not sure whether editing the article is permitted at Wikipedia by someone involved with the project... Thank you... [[Special:Contributions/116.77.140.245|116.77.140.245]] ([[User talk:116.77.140.245|talk]]) 08:45, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

:The [[WP:N|notability criteria]] requires multiple independent published sources. And yeah, [[WP:COI]] says that you shouldn't edit articles about things you're directly involved in. But if it's notable, someone will probably write an article sooner or later. -- [[user:intgr|intgr]]&nbsp;<small>[[user talk:intgr|[talk]]]</small> 18:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

:[[WP:COI]] doesn't actually prohibit contributions from those directly involved. It says this is a no, no "unless you are certain that a neutral editor would agree that your edits improve Wikipedia". So disclose your conflict and give us the facts.[[User:MartinRinehart|MartinRinehart]] ([[User talk:MartinRinehart|talk]]) 11:19, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

== Will the Real Notable Libraries Please Stand Up? ==

I'm trying to write a book chapter re JavaScript libraries. This would be a logical place to start a list of same, no?

Could we define "JavaScript library"?

Could we define "notable"?

A comparison of functionalities of notable JavaScript libraries would be most welcome. [[User:MartinRinehart|MartinRinehart]] ([[User talk:MartinRinehart|talk]]) 11:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

== paper.js ==

Shouldn't paper.js be on this list? Is there a reason it has been left off? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/70.61.199.35|70.61.199.35]] ([[User talk:70.61.199.35|talk]]) 12:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Red links/non-article links ==

I have for the second time removed all red links and non-article entries from this list. Please do not add any to the article. There are a few reasons for this:

* The list is a list of '''notable''' JavaScript libraries, and as such if a library is notable it should have an article: create the article first

* [[WP:REDYES]] says "Create red links everywhere they are relevant to the context" but the list supplies no context, as would be provided by a paragraph containing the link, or e.g. by the list being in a table or one of a set ([[List of Tour de France winners]] for example).

* [[WP:REDNOT]] says not to create them in navigation sections such as See also sections, but this is pretty much all see also type links

* most importantly readers should find links useful: red links are frustrating to users who expect the link to navigate somewhere, or if not the linking article to supply enough context so they can work out what should be there

== Require ==

What about [http://www.requirejs.org RequireJS], the Javascript Library Management? Is that out of scope? --[[Special:Contributions/193.134.254.26|193.134.254.26]] ([[User talk:193.134.254.26|talk]]) 18:49, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

== What about Aurelia? ==

== node.js and respond.js ==

I found and undid some vandalism at the bottom of the article page.

However, I am bringing their intentions here to be discussed.

== Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles ==

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

=== Collaboration...===

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript]] and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

=== Where to list JavaScript articles ===

We've found over 300 [[Index of JavaScript-related articles|JavaScript-related articles]] so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

=== User scripts ===

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject JavaScript|let us know]]!

If you have need for a user script that does not

yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

=== How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention ===

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript#JavaScript-related articles that need attention|list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention]].

=== Rating JavaScript articles ===

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Thank you. [[User talk:The Transhumanist|<i>The&nbsp;Transhumanist</i>]] 01:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

== Remix? ==

Next.js is included, and frameworks like Remix are pretty big right now. Should it be included? Also maybe add Gatsby? [[Special:Contributions/59.102.125.107|59.102.125.107]] ([[User talk:59.102.125.107|talk]]) 10:30, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
