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.

Are there any examples you can cite? I'd be particularly interested in the SUL issues.
