ENORMOUS THANKS!

Good example. This is indeed, Manual, Repetitive, and Automatable, as that
page says.

As for CX, I've just checked with Kartik, who is the cxserver deployment
guru, and he says that it can be done early, before the wiki is created.
(Although I guess that ideally it should be done right when the wiki is
created, not much earlier and not much later.)

Is there a task where you track this particular work of yours? If not,
perhaps you could document it at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158730 .

In my dream, all of this necessary info is entered in a well-structured
_form_, rather than a loose template, and then everything is done
automatically, so that people don't have to create a lot of tasks and
patches. But I guess that strict usage of a template is a good step in that
direction.
