Hoi, There is more then just one Wiktionary. What Wiktionary are you talking about? You assume that things are in a certain way on the Wiktionaries, you state that this should be discussed on the Wiktionary list, but this never happened. The suggestion that things are unacceptable on a foundation level because you expect that Wikipedia assumptions are true on other projects is problematic. Wiktionary is much more black and white; it has a more structured organization.
When you are of the opinion that OTRS should have a separate queue for Wiktionary, I would agree with you.
Thanks, GerardM

Regrettably, there seem very few wikt. people handing OTRS inquiries about the project, and without going in to too many details I've seen far too many entries in that queue where it is "I've been blocked - forever - without warning".
A few months back I had cause to raise this issue on-wiki, and Florence got involved. I'm not going to dig up the contributions on this, but we were all told to "enjoy our wikidrama" and Florence's position was discounted - just another Wikipedian interfering.
Block with no warning is - in most cases - unacceptable, and I'm sure most people here would agree with that. I don't make a lot of use of wiktionary, but if people don't get {{test}} and {{don't disrupt}} templates then I do not believe the project's administrators are doing their job properly.
I'm sure some might argue this should have been raised on the wiktionary mailing list, but I believe if a project has - as in this case - earned a reputation for capriciously wielding the banhammer it needs the wider Wikimedia community to say this is unacceptable.
