Ok, but this is not a solution for problem of occasional vandals from shared IP (like AOL)
that are blocked for a short time on Wikipedia, then come to Wikibooks, are blocked, so go
to Wikinews, got blocked again, so switch to Wiktionary and so on - everything from the
same IP in a few minutes. If the first block on Wikipedia was working on another projects,
such situations would not happen. For me, the current state is pathological - an IP gets
blocked on Wikipedia due to vandalism, but the guy behind it has still possibility to
devastate any other project.
