Hi,
I have setup a wiki family that use a single source of mediawiki for
multiple wikis database.
To avoid reinvent the wheels and follow the wiki community standard. I
import some nice templates from wikipedia to my own wikis.
This is great as I don't need to create my own templates. However, I
forced to import the templates to each wiki database in the family or
else it won't work. It will become a nightmare to maintain the
templates when my wiki grows.
Is there any ways to share the templates among wikis? Something like a
meta wiki that able to share out the template for other wiki database to
use.
Even better, if there is a way to use the template directly from
wikipedia.org without export/import so I don't need to maintain my own
templates but enjoy using the templates from community.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Chau Chee Yang
There's the scary transclusion config, but see its drawbacks. There's an
interwiki transclusion branch which improved things, but it has not been
merged yet.
