This isn't actually a javascript for anything other than the signature. This is creating a live link to this page every time the editor signs a page, basically like using a template for a signature. Evidence of how problematic this is can be seen from the amount of incoming links to the prior editor's name (and prior signature) at User:Adrian/zap2.js and broken signature pages because it was removed.

 * Rename to User:Adrian~enwiki/zap2_js? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:47, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It's still a translucation of another page in violation of WP:SIG. The fact that it's a javascript page isn't the issue. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:41, 9 April 2016 (UTC)


 * His most recent signed edit lacks a link to this page, so I'm not sure what the concern is? Stifle (talk) 08:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:SIG. Actual templates in signatures (or the equivalent) are forbidden. Translucations are discouraged. This is equivalent to linking to a template (you can call a page whatever you want). It was used in the past and translucated for all prior instances under the prior name. The fact that it isn't being used now doesn't make the page suddenly appropriate and to me, one way to actually discourage the practice is by deleting the page itself. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:41, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. No ongoing issue needing fixing, and no evidence of anyone attempting to talk to the user.  Come to MfD for backup yes, but not as the first stpe of dispute resolution.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:25, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
