Hum ?!?
Are you suggesting that en.wikipedia is the place

It strikes that this is part of the problem; Perl is applying the en:
procedures for deletion to meta. This is what we want to avoid.<br>

This need not be the case. A unified login system is sorely needed -
having to log in separately to each different site is a big hindrance
to working on multiple projects. I believe that is a big part of what
makes meta so poorly used. But integrating logins can be done without
creating universal sysops, other than perhaps the new "stewards". The
system should be able to provide different user abilities depending on
which project you are working on.<br>
