This is more flexible for the wiki community to update settings, and easier for the operator to live with. However, since there is a large potential for vandalism, we would want to put a restriction that only sysops can edit the page (e.g. limiting to the MediaWiki namespace). We wouldFor further safety we might want to enforce hard upper/lower limits for certain values. (The same could be said to Option 1, since the default set might have quite large implications and there will be a larger chance for mistake by Option 1.but Option 2 seems to be more vulnerable.)Perhaps we can implement both and let the operator and community choose.
