Architecture:MediaWiki/Domain modules

The MediaWiki code base can be conceptually structured into domain modules listed below. As per version 1.35, the domain structure is aspirational. That is, the domains described here do not describe current reality, but are intended as a guide for creating new code and for improving existing code.

Domain modules, in no specific order:
 * content reuse domain (dumps, etc)
 * customization domain (gadgets, site css, etc)
 * campaigns domain (banners, etc)
 * curation domain (protect, delete, tag, etc)
 * monitoring domain (technical)
 * navigation domain (skin, etc)
 * notification domain
 * communication domain
 * discovery domain (search)
 * federation domain
 * abuse prevention domain (block, protect, filter, etc)
 * accountability domain (history, logs)
 * content rendering domain
 * access management domain (permissions, groups)
 * ontology modeling domain
 * content editing domain
 * user management domain (create, rename, login)
 * internationalzation domain
 * content representation domain
 * maintenance domain

Note that Manual:extensions may fit into one of the domains above, or to a domain not present in MediaWiki core, or define a domain of their own.
