share templates in a wikifarm
From Project:Support desk
I havea wikifarm and I'd like to default the template namespace on all of them to the main wiki. So using {{thisisatemplate}} would display on every wiki on the wikifarm as long as there is a template with that name on the main wiki. Is that possible? Manual:Shared_database implies it's a really bad idea. Is there a way around it? Modrobene 07:29, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
You can try Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding, but it also has its own issues (but significantly better then trying to share the revision/page table, which will totally not work). There is some work towards a better way of doing this as part of gsoc, but I don't believe it's quite ready yet/included in mediawiki yet.
