Yes, there are these groups, but in most wikipedias they have few persons inside it and they have almost no policy; moreover if you look for global ipblock exempt you may found that they are still vulnerable to IP and IP range blocks made locally on individual wikis (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_blocks_and_bans#Global_IP_block_exempt... ). so, for example, how could a chinese write on it.wiki? or, if Berlusconi's law will get approved, how could italians write freely on all wikis, if in fact there is no global ipblock exempt?

Why dont allow Ip block exemptions for TOR when wikipedians are strongly biased by local laws?
This is already possible on all wikis with ipblock-exempt group and is/was used mainly for Chinese wikipedians AFAIK. Everybody happily editing on clandestinity is not really a solution.
