I like the idea of using two-letter codes for language projects though you obviously run into the issue of only being able to link to one project in that language that way (e.g. w.wiki/de would presumably go to de.wikipedia.org, not de.wiktionary.org, etc).

I'm not sure how $wgConf works.
Not all wiki families are separated by domain; some use paths instead and this pattern will break for that.

@ashley They just want to use MW to host the policy pages rather than use it like an actual wiki. So omitting things like content_actions and just switching to Vector for logged in users should be fine.

@brion Also some privacy software / virus suites / intermediate proxies supposedly strip out the Referer header as well.

@Krinkle Javascript! Thanks, I just noticed a factor I wasn't taking into account this whole time.

Somewhat relevant old RFC; for which code was completed but simply halted because no-one would review it.

You're right. I also tested with 500MB before, but it looks like Node.js requires 1GB of ram even for something as simple as this script:
console.log('...');

While the intention is to try and make things easier. This change basically adds a brand new unintuitive piece of syntax that now everyone has to learn.

At least DigitalOcean has small $5/mo servers.

The issue doesn't appear to exist anymore. Either the donation form changed or LastPass made some improvements.

I also brought up currently existing bugs and flaws:
The possibility we might actually want Allpages to be reasonably indexable (potentially helpful to smaller wiki).
Why was the RFC simply accepted with absolutely no discussion over the negative effects of blacklisting /wiki/*? which I brought up on wikitech-l and on the RFC's talkpage:

@Paladox this is about allowing users to explicitly pick a skin that happens to be the default (and won't change if the default is changed) or explicitly pick the site default skin (so it will change when the default changes). So it is not done.

en is already en-US, there's no point confusing people by having them both in preferences.
