Hi there,

I've got questions around Wiki Farm setup, I'm not sure if it's the right
place to ask the question. If there is a better channel, feel free to say
so.

In Wiki Family page [1] there is a quote saying

> It is recommended to use a different DB for each wiki (By setting a
> different $wgDBname
> <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDBname> for

> <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDBprefix>)
> to separate the different installs.
>
But it's not detailed why it's recommended. I'd like to know if there is
any downside of using the prefix strategy (peformances, upgrades, etc) ?

Regards,
Manuel
