There is something I came across that I'd like to briefly discuss briefly during
the meeting:
It would be nice if the updater could change default settings. This way, we
could make some behavior the default for new wikis, while keeping old behavior
for existing wikis. I envision an DefaultOverrides.php file that the installer
would append to. It would be in .gitignore, but I'm not sure where it should be
located.
Point in case: Wikis that share the user table should also share the actor
table. But we haven't been doing that so far, and wikis that now already have a
shared user table but per-wiki actor tables are rather ticket to migrate. So we
could add the actor table to wgSharedTables per default, but tell the installer
to override that for wikis that already have out-of-sync actor tables. See
