[01:57:21] <Krinkle>	 TIL the MediaWiki core "botpasswords" feature has its own db cluster configuration. I had no idea we already had precedent for core data being stored outside core database hosts. That's pretty cool. (And nice to see migrated toward the new "virtual domain" standard). ref T351559

[09:55:43] <xSavitar>	 Krinkle, thanks! Saw it and thinking about it. 🙏🏽
[21:01:08] <tgr>	 Krinkle: it's the one core feature that needs to be shared across wikis in a farm (other than shared user tables I guess but that's ancient and we don't use it) so it had to have a DB/cluster configuration.
[21:05:05] <Krinkle>	 tgr: yeah, makes sense! I don't know what my mental model previously assumed. I think I would have guessed that there was a "global" equivalent in CentralAuth or another "Global*" extension that replaced the core feature with a global one, as we do with many other things. (Except I've read through CentralAuth code and extensions listsing often enough that I would have seen it if that existed). I hadn't really thought about how these were 
[21:05:05] <Krinkle>	 shared across wikis until now.
