    InstantCommons

    We can have Company logos etc. from Wikimedia Commons, no need to upload a gazillion logos just for use in Consumerium

    from wm-bot: InstantCommons is a feature for MediaWiki 1.16+ that allows any MediaWiki installation to use media on the Wikimedia Commons. This has basically been realized via $wgForeignFileRepos. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos>. If you're only looking to use images from Wikimedia Commons and no other wikis, you can use the shortcut setting $wgUseInstantCommons to true.

    Consumerium wiki structure

    Primary structure

    1. consumerium.org/wiki/fi- Finnish langauge article space
    2. consumerium.org/wiki/en - English language article space
    3. consumerium.org/wiki/sv - Swedish language article space

    (these are all the languages that I'm fluent enough to sysop)

    Ideas about using sub-articles extensively to avoid massive disambig collision

    consumerium.org/wiki/en/Company/Brand/Product- For big corporations
    consumerium.org/wiki/en/Company/Product - For smaller companies
    consumerium.org/wiki/en/Product - a redirect to Company/Brand/Product if Product name is not a company name
    consumerium.org/wiki/en/Country/City/District/Business (for businesses that have a few or one outlet(s))

    Sub-articleing vs. extensive and heavy use of categories

    not sure if sub-articleing is a good idea. using mediawiki's categories instead to provide nested structures

    Using Youtube to serve videos

    Adverts and Anti-adverts can be served from Youtube to mobile or desktop devices.
