Syntax of static methods

[evilpie]

For static methods like createObjectURL, MDN used to show the syntax like URL.createObjectURL(object) instead of createObjectURL(object). I think the former is more useful in most cases. This makes it immediately obvious that this is a static method and the code can even be copied directly.

In this specific instance it's even a bit more problematic because there is no example code that shows how using this API would look like.

Hi, Tom!

You have a good point here.

For static methods, and only them, prefixing with the interface name would be:

1. correct
2. make it easier to copy and paste.

As we now have page types, this would be easy to fix automatically.

Thanks, @OnkarRuikar.
We still need to update this section https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Writing_guidelines/Page_structures/Syntax_sections#constructors_and_methods

So it looks like this has been done! \o/ Thanks, @evilpie, for pointing this out.
