Well it was a beautiful dream for a few minutes...
I'll have to think a bit more about what to do.
Thanks Brion.

Shared DB settings
Shared database for multiple wikis. Presently used for storing a user
table for single sign-on. The server for this database must be the
same as for the main database.
Make sure that the database user you set in $wgDBuser has read-access
to that database. It might be sufficient to grant read-access to the
user table only.
EXPERIMENTAL!

I was hoping that I might be able to apply this to the main database
as well as the user database so people can access the same data
through different language wikis.
No, but you can select your user interface language in preferences.
If you just point several differently-configured installations at one
complete database you're likely to have trouble with data being written
into the database incorrectly (log entries, caches of rendered items,
the entire set of localized UI strings, etc).
