Yeah. The idea that led to this thought was that the creator and/or administrator team for each individual wiki would have options regarding ads including even paying a monthly fee to go ad-free. The subscription would include more than control over ads and allow some customization with other things they currently have no control over. Essentially be a free-with-ads or paid hosting service for MediaWiki-based sites.. Much easier then setting up your own wiki. They could opt-in to the ads to share the revenue (or make the subscription cost very little). I realize this is probably not the direction so I didn't post it and instead just mentioned the sharing revenue part without giving it much thought. Not very workable I guess.
