Mentioning this page about a "global-Wiki" here, while it's more general it contains some discussion about global templates, modules and gadgets that may be useful in this task.

Hope this is the right place (relevant also to T71445): Also adding a more recent post here about one feature one may use on this central repository, if it happens in wiki page form.
