Question: So the extension GlobalUsage, at present cannot be used if you have a
wiki farm with a single database server and no database load balancer? 

I habe tentatively added to the extension page:

#: At present, this cannot be NOT a database name of the wiki, but must be a
name given in a load balancer configuration:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgLBFactoryConf -- it might be that on a
setup without a multi-master-database Loadbalancer, the extension is not
usable.

I have changed the bug title - can you make it work for $wgDBname relatively
easy? I assume that most mediawikis work without $wgLBFactoryConf being set. It
seems consistent that if $wgLBFactoryConf is not set, all wikis are databases
on the same database host, so all other settings are simply re-used, except for
the database one. This would work for us. For others, an additional variable
$wgGlobalUsageDatabasePrefix would fix it (one database, tables have different
prefixes).
