It has came to my attention that closed wikis can be the source of problems
particularly for IW links.
When a wiki is locked down (generally for inactivity) edits to the site are
completely blocked.
This is a problem because IW links can no longer be fixed meaning there is a
permanent invalid IW linkage which may mislead bots and humans (visitors
reading articles) alike.
In addition it creates a backlog as the wikis in question will be unlocked
eventualy. Admittedly the locked wikis are small so backlog isnt exactly too
big of a deal.
In adition locked wikis also need to be edited for SUL unifications,
username renames (can relate to SUL), leftover spam deletions and etc.
I really think certain usergroups and/or global usergroups should be allowed
to edit such wikis.
