What ways are there to include user-edited JavaScript in a wiki page?

I ask because someone put this revision in (which is now deleted):

https://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C:Common.js&diff=next&oldid=22367460&uselang=en

You can't see it now, but it was someone including a JavaScript
cryptocurrency miner in common.js!

Obviously this is not going to be a common thing, and common.js is
closely watched. (The above edit was reverted in 7 minutes, and the
user banned.)

But what are the ways to get user-edited JavaScript running on a
MediaWiki, outside one's own personal usage? And what permissions are
needed? I ask with threats like this in mind.
