Hi,
I was thinking last night that it might be cool if there was a kind of
"template repository" for people to copy templates from for their own
MediaWiki. Copying them from Wikipedia etc while possible tends to be
very nasty and/or ugly due to extreme nestedness.
Actually, with the Help: pages on
mediawiki.org, I had an idea that
these would eventually ship by default with MediaWiki. Is that still
the plan? I think it's a good idea - plenty of people may never come
back to
mediawiki.org after installing, and it's just so convenient to
already have those pages in your wiki. And the special:export
instructions are ok but kind of a pain (you have to upload the images
yourself? oh and enable SVGs? joy).
Anyway, would it be OK to set up a PD template repository on
mediawiki.org, and if so, what method(s) could be used for
distributing it?
1- shipped with MW by default
2- extension????
3- special:export
Could an extension avoid the need for manually uploading images? (Or,
is there any prospect that files will work properly with
special:export?)
thanks
Brianna
