Description

We need a central repository of Scribunto modules and templates. Currently they are spread all over.

It has been broadly requested/discussed in many places and this is an attempt to have a URL to watch a contribute to this topic.

Scribunto upstream is in mediawiki.org and therefore I think such central repository should also be in mediawiki.org, to satisfy equally Wikimedia and MediaWiki centric projects.

I was wondering whether there is an interest to push this discussion in the context of the Wikimedia-Developer-Summit-2016. The goal could be to agree on a basic plan and the best way to bring it to an implementation as part of the 2016-17 annual plan (or something along these lines). The globalization of gadgets seems to be progressing, but the templates/modules could benefit from a coordinated effort.

Probably not this task, but T91162.

OK. Marking this task as Stalled and blocked by T91162: RFC: Shadow namespaces, then.
