I have no issues with technical changes which make doing the work easier. I just wonder what "Members of langcom or other volunteers can set the logo or other pieces afterwards" means. How quickly will the settings be added, and by whom? It would be annoying to have a created wiki, but people have to start using it without the desired settings in place. I think it would be especially problematic when special namespaces are requested, like they routinely are for Wikisource? They need to exist before work can be done.

It is to make it basically automated to make the init config patch which you could in paper immediately create the wiki right after. That's the biggest difference.

Well, if *this* is the change that reduces it from an unknown and long period to a predictable time of two hours, I guess it's OK, but are time zone and logo really the problem? These two particular things are so simple that even I know how to update them :) (although I almost never *actually* do that).
Are there any other extra configurations that will be affected?

Hi, As part of improving the workflow of creating new wikis and making sure they are created faster, I'm proposing new wikis creations done by sysadmins with default config only. No timezone, no logo, no extra configurations.
That would reduce the wiki creation burden from sysadmins so we can get it out of the door as fast as possible. Members of langcom or other volunteers can set the logo or other pieces afterwards.
With this change and one other small change, we will be basically able to create a wiki a couple of hours after the request by langcom.
Any objections?
