Wikia is attempting to perform an alternate solution due to the fact that Javascript is required on so many wikis. They're going to re-enable Javascript (particularly the verbatim tags to allow them to function again, if you've noticed any broken ones) but they'll disable editing of all pages in the MediaWiki namespace. That means any page that starts with MediaWiki:, like MediaWiki:Community-corner (the page that controls the announcements on Special:WikiActivity), will be locked from editing by any user. The exceptions will be CSS pages, thankfully. This is still a work-in-progress, though, so I'll keep you guys updated on here as Wikia updates the thread I linked in the first post.
