Why do people want ten Wikipedias to look up instead of one?
Why would people want millions of computers instead of just eight?
Why would we want terabytes of memory when we could have just 640
kilobytes? When I go to the library, why are there a gazillion
books, instead of just the best book?
There are much more meta-wikis that could be merged:

We really are starting to need a global template space for
multiwiki, potentially multilingual templates, that can be transcluded
into any mediawiki install we want to allow.
A Commons for templates.
Hi Nemo,
you are not very specific - the discussion on Strategory you are

It seems silly to proliferate so many wikis when many of them focus on
related issues. It becomes the nightmare of having to visit the web site
of every user group every few hours vs having all the new posts sent via
email to one address so you save time. The real question to me seems to

Fantastic idea. One I'd really like to see put to fruition. I know as a
kid I would have taken to the idea immediately.
However, considering this is the WMF discussion list, I don't think it's a
feasible project for the the WMF. The Foundation hosts sites that are
