Is it possible to share templates between multiple wiki's?

We have 3 kind of users and we want to make a wiki for every kind. We now have a lot of templates and images in one wiki. Is it possible to set up other wiki's (I know that the upload folder is sharable) which can make use of the other templates? That way we don't have to make every template 3 times.

Thanks for any information!

With ScaryTransclusion, you can actually share templates from any MediaWiki wiki, including the WMF wikis. I have used this on a private wiki experimentally with good results. It takes some work thought figure out what happens with various combinations of substitution and raw.

This option will not share the templates, it simply copies them.

I thought of that too as a solution if nothing else works. But, thanks to Doug and Allen4names I hope everything will work out.

Thanks guys!
