Talk:Community Tech/Central repository for gadgets, templates and Lua modules

Regarding code review

Having seen phab:T71445, I wonder if some sort of "Pending Changes" protection for the shared gadgets/templates/modules may be something to consider. One, this would allow for a code review workflow by way of approving an edited version only after a review. Second, since the repository would create significant dependencies and disruption potential (e.g from a template used in millions of pages across projects being vandalized or improperly edited), it could make a good compromise between the Wikimedia principles of open editing and the need to protect widely shared gadgets/templates/modules.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:40, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

without having to first import them to the specific wiki

Where does the requirement "without having to first import them to the specific wiki" come from? This project is stalled while trying to come up with a decent architecture to implement this. This project would be quicker to implement if this qualification was removed. Even if only until the infrastructure becomes available to support it. --Rob Kam (talk) 20:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Because that would lead to a huge fragmentation of the repository and stuff getting outdated, lacking features etc. all over the place. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 06:00, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Where will be the Central repository?

At the moment, is there a consensus on where will the central repository be? --Rical (talk) 10:16, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Rical, a meeting happen about that during Barcelona's hackathon. I was notes-taker. Trizek (WMF) (talk) 08:00, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
