Brainstorming

Welcome to brainstorming page, where User:Diskette and other people brainstorms for upcoming features and infrastructure planning. And also Rubberducking

The wikifarm infrastructure

The best way to manage stuff is to make a "centralized" wiki and connect all other wikis into that central wiki. The central wiki has to provide "basic" templates like all the boxes (e.g., Infoboxes, message boxes) and then synchronizing those templates to other wikis.

The *nix wikis compared to others

This "central" wiki provides basic templates that could be used in other wikis, Commons-like image storage, a rule page, and it acts sort of like a "global" blocks to trolls. But there's some problem to this, which includes localization, and other wikis needs something a little different. But mainly, *nix wiki needs Templates, Wikimedia Commons-like image storage, and a rule. On other wiki, such as the planned JzBoy wiki needs needs Template, but what about Wikimedia Commons-like image store? Or a rule? Well, I think JzBoy wiki should be able to use the central wiki images, but not strictly upload to it since the images used would probably be licensed under some license that Mr. JzBoy himself allows.

Features	*nix wiki	JzWiki
Basic templates	Yes	Yes
Commons-like image storage	Yes	One-way only
Global rule page	Yes	Yes (You agree to reading the whatever this centralized wiki will be called's rules and JzBoy wiki rules)
Account management...ish?? (Keycloak already does this)	Yes	Yes

Authentication service

Currently, there are two ways to do authentication service. The first one is to use the the Central Auth Extension or use the more flexible and extensible OpenID Connect via Keycloak.
