DefaultSettings.json?

 * Context: In an IRC conversation, ^d suggested turning DefaultSettings.php, which becomes a huge metadata file, into a JSON file

^demon, I thought about this a bit and don't think it'll work. The defaults need to be backend-independent, which means it can't be JSON. Legoktm (talk) 03:22, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * We do a lot of stuff like after extract globals:

and there even are some hooks and such written into WMF common settings, like SkinCopyrightFooter to set the CC-0 license for Wikidata data namespaces. Important that there is a way to do this stuff in a new system. Aude (talk) 10:12, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay looks like maybe that hook is not actually used but there are numerous such hooks for specific things. Aude (talk) 10:17, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
