[Mediawiki-l] Can we share template among wikis?

[Chau Chee Yang]

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.
