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

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.
