Is it possible to unify them into a single domain, but keep them as separate wikis? For example, I would think that http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/2012/page is still better than sub-pages on a single wiki (where it can get messy) or separate wikis on a separate wikimania.org domain (where we just move the problem elsewhere).

Hi,
Right now, we already have a dozen separate wikis for each past and future Wikimanias, and there's no doubt there'll be much more to come.
The idea here is to have a single Wikimania wiki (wikimania.wikimedia.org) for all conferences, instead of the current separate-wiki style (wikimania2012.wikimedia.org). This has been discussed at Wikimania project domain in 2011, but it seems to have quickly ran outta gas.
Key issues addressed:
Q1: Organizers (alone) of a current conference needs to have absolute control over the conference wiki (aka being an admin).
A1: Wikimania wikis does not run as normal projects. Hence, all organizers shall easily be given admin rights (and former organizers removed) as it becomes necessary. The cycle continues.
Q2: What about archiving past wikis? What if we need to look back?
A2: Except for key pages (such as the Main Page), all other pages of each project could be created under the respective year's subpage. For example, all 2012 conference's pages would be under [http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012/page/page/etc]. Additionally if necessary, any vital page requiring archiving could also be edit protected (cascading style too, if possible).
Please respond at the existing Wikimania project domain proposal page, and help it get off the ground.
Thanks!
