Well, I would normally expect locally-edited pages (in a wiki.d/
directory) to override pages that come from a distribution such as
PmWiki or a skin.
Most people are not likely to have the farm's wiki.d/ directory
in their $WikiLibDirs, so they won't experience the problem you're
seeing. And for those that are reading from the farm's wiki.d/,
I think they would expect their farm pages to override the skin
pages. So I think you're okay. (An admin that wants the skin pages
to override the farm's pages probably needs to explicitly set
$WikiLibDirs, or copy the page files from the skin into wiki.d/
somewhere.)

Yes -- any variable in config.php is automatically global unless
it's defined inside of a function (in which case it has to be
explicitly declared global).
