Thread:Manual talk:Coding conventions/JavaScript/Whitespace for function parameter lists/reply (3)

JSHint is a code quality tool, not coding style. It has some legacy options for whitespace enforcement, however those are deprecated, disabled by default, and our configurations don't enable that option (as reflected by the lint job that runs from Jenkins, which uses the same configuration, and as such should also never enforce or warn for options like that).

The whitespace style option in JSHint is not flexible (it was a boolean option for backwards-compatibility with JSLint to enforce Crockford's code conventions).

If JSHint is warning you about those whitespace rules, make sure you find out why that option is enabled and disable it.
