Then can you specify the threshold for the community-ratio that is in your opinion required for some Wikipedians to vandalize a language edition of Wikipedia in such way?
Unless the WMF decides it should intervene, the de facto threshold is whatever allows them to get consensus and have an admin make the necessary changes and not be reverted. As a practical matter, the Kiribati-based community would not be able to do something like this on the English Wikipedia.
FWIW because of the way this has been implemented, it is not (at least obviously) possible to rollback/reverse via the web interface (it appears to be a change in common.js - and even that page redirects to the message).
