We could also try convincing the semi-decent shared hosts like Dreamhost
and Linode to run a service of their own for their customers.
That reminds me, I had an idea lying around somewhere about making it
possible for things like shared hosts to offer configuration hints to
the installer.

So if all wikis on world would use this central
parsoid, I wouldn't
like to see that huge outage when the parsoid server breaks :P

The only true precedent we have here is the
public Collection server run by
PediaPress, which is a wonderful service used by several hundreds wikis for
years. It ensures a comparatively smooth installation of the Collection
extension even for the most niche formats.

One could perhaps also consider DNSBL services by SpamHaus and others.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam#DNSBL But I don't know
how many are using them and they're not really effective, so we don't really
have a service comparable to Akismet. The "Antispam" extension claims to be
one, but at the moment it's used by 3 wikis only.
