The first things I thought about were mentioned by Tamara in an earlier
message.
Wikigroups were created exactly for this reason, to be able to have a number
of semi-indepentend wiki sites, each with its own sidebar, header, footer,
skin, even editors and permissions. If you could use Wikigroups instead of
separate fields in a farm, you would save yourself a lot of work.
Alternatively, it is possible to include all of the rootwiki pages into the
fields without copying them. If you use a wikifarm, a single pmwiki.php file
and a number of field index.php files which include it, in each
field/local/config.php file you could use something like this:
$WikiLibDirs = array(
&$WikiDir,
new PageStore('$FarmD/wiki.d/{$FullName}'), # path to rootwiki/wiki.d
new PageStore('$FarmD/wikilib.d/{$FullName}')
);
This will make sure that each field contains all pages from the root wiki.
If you edit any such page from a field, it will be cloned to the field and
the changes will not affect the same page content in the root wiki or the
other field wikis. If you want to edit any rootwiki page from a field and
actually modify it, you use a different line in the above snippet:
new PageStore('$FarmD/wiki.d/{$FullName}', 1), # writable rootwiki/wiki.d
Yes, there are at least two recipes which seem to do what you ask for. I
haven't tested or reviewed any of them, but they may work for you:

One issue I'm constantly running into (and haven't solved) is trying to pull
in wiki content from other sites.
...rootwiki
......story1
......story2
......story3
When I create a new 'story' sub site, I copy the root wiki.d folder (which is
basically my story sites template) to the new subfolder and go from there.
My problem is, for these story sites I have pages that ideally would pull in
part of their content from the rootwiki site, to avoid duplication and ensure
changes to the rootwiki page automatically reflect in the child sites.
Ideally I could use (:include wikiroot:grouppage.page:) where wikiroot is
defined in farmmap.txt and points to the root wiki, or something like that,
but of course :include: only works at the site level. I don't want to use an
iframe via HTML.
Have I overlooked an existing solution?
Many thanks for any ideas.
Cheers,
Andrew, longtime pmwiki user.
