Translations:Centralism and decentralism/1/en

Centralism and decentralism are competing approaches for MediaWiki development and administration. There are two levels of centralization: code deployment and distribution for the MediaWiki community as a whole, and for individual wikis. The former is reflected in, for example, the schools of thought concerning integration of extensions into the core. The latter is reflected in, e.g., relative advantages of bots and server-side tools or a decision to hack MediaWiki core.
