Any others? – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:48, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, "text" for starters. If you figure out out to get that supported, please show us how you did it. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 10:34, 14 September 2016 (UTC)


 * See mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight, and [expand] the Previously supported lexers box. The documentation seems to erroneously think that  (Plain text) is still supported. – wbm1058 (talk) 10:58, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * On second thought, never mind. A quick look through the category shows that extant cases in JavaScript files include MediaWiki:LAPI.js, User:Cacycle/wikEd.js (and a couple forked copies), and MediaWiki:Robots.txt. None of these match the exact problem I described; all may be due to the aforementioned length limit. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 22:28, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
