Global templates
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Several proposals to make templates shareable across wiki instances over the years. Here's a list of relevant pages:
- Gathering support from local projects for global templates (active 2021)
- mw:Requests for comment/Shadow namespaces
- Requests_for_comment/Global_bits_and_pieces
- Global templates (on mediawiki.org, since 2019, actively discussed)
- Which templates should be global? (discussion, mostly in 2017, with occasional additions later)
- Global-Wiki (discussion between 2013 and 2017; closed)
- Multilingual Templates and Modules (on mediawiki.org; implemented as a bot, but currently inactive)
- Wikitemplates (discussed in 2017, not currently active)
- Template repository (on mediawiki.org; proposed in 2008, not currently active)
- Abstract Wikipedia, also known as Wikifunctions — a distinct, but somewhat comparable project in active development
- Global templates (alternative concept) — a person idea concept of Dušan Kreheľ.
- Template duplication (abandoned since 2005)
