User:RHo (WMF)/Sandbox/Design Repository

The following contains tests for using Mediawiki as the place for a design repository.
 * Pros of a MW repo:
 * *Potentially* better for foundation staff and Wikimedians who may find using MW more accessible for discovery, usage, and sharing within MW rather then an external notion page.
 * Easily to manage edit permissions
 * Open for greater collaboration to WMF staff and the benefits of transparency and accountability
 * Cons:
 * Much more limited in functionality - sorting, filtering, search, different views
 * Requires a higher degree of proficiency in editing in tables than on notion
 * Less portable/exportable than notion db
 * Potentially less appealing for wider public design community

Idea 1: Manual copy repo - export Notion database table to csv and recreate in wikitext
This option can potentially be done periodically (as say a quarterly chore).

Idea 2: Embedded external page via an extension
Instead of recreating the data, we can figure out how to insert the whole notion page? into mediawiki. Adding an Extension will require admin permission (how easy/hard is this?)...
