I like the general outline of this idea, but you CANNOT block IPs from the Wikipedia namespace. It would break the help
desk, >the reference
desk, the village pump, afd and general complaints, just to name a few.

Glad to hear it recognised as common sense for Wiki's honesty of functioning, that these things can't be blocked. Because --- they already are blocked. Because user blocks include against these pages.
and permablocks can be imposed by an admin who knows you intend to use one of these pages upon a finite block's expiry, and none of Wiki's ruling class will admit that's logically wrong, as I expect you've seen here.
