One or Two wikis?
Suppose two wikis, I'll call them Opinion Wiki and Content Wiki as working titles.
This has advantages:
- Better scalability
- Better security (HTTPS?) for Opinion Wiki without performance losses in Content Wiki
- Differentiated sysops
- What else is there
and disadvantages:
- Distinct Recent Changes (could be hacked to show both in one view)
- Double login (can maybe be avoided by sharing the session)
- Checking link correctness is more work (could be hacked too)
- Differentiated sysops
- What else is there
I hear that OpenFacts have done something like session sharing with multiple wikis with MediaWiki. Must inquire them about their solution and experiences
For what I've been able to think lately maybe merging Content Wiki and Opinion Wiki into just one wiki could prove most workable. Since almost all article types have been defined already and will use a pseudo namespace or a real one if we hack it to support more true namespaces.
From Opinion Wiki
- User
- Troll
- Group - must correspond to a real-world registered entity
- VirtualGroup - must not conflict with names of real-world entities. Consists of Users and Groups and other VirtualGroups
- Campaign - preferably descriptive names, and preferably recognizable to people doing real world campaigns say in NGOs.
