I'm using mysql replication now for another application so I know what
that's about. But for rsync, not sure what you mean about --delete
the folder.
Would you suggest rsyncing the whole mediawiki folder ? And I'm not
sure what you mean about 'math changes'.

I did a horrible deliberately-broken version of

images/ folder would have worked. (If it doesn't, let me know.)
A better
approach would be to make site B database be a read-only slave
of A. Then use the nighly job to rsync --delete the folder (first time
it would have to copy everything, but then only images / math changes).
I don't think rsyncing the images would have worked with your way, since
you'd also need to importImages.php
With the database replication, the rows in the image table are already
there, so it's no problem.
