What I am suggesting is not an Interwiki Police, I would be the first in
line to oppose that. What I am suggesting is better communication between
wikis. The arrogant tone between wikis should be abolished.
What evidence do you have of this "arrogant tone" except to the extent
that it comes from en:wp? If admins from en:wp want to be believed on
sister projects they would do well to abandon their love of kangaroo
justice.
What I seek is better information sharing between
wikis. I should not need
to pay attention to individual noticeboards and block logs of every wiki.
Intense cases of disruption should be noted in the same site.
We don't really need that. Why should my approach to a newbie be
tainted by such prejudicial material? The ones that are really bad will
soon get noticed without the need for such a condescending noticeboard.
In my years with Wiktionary and Wikisource I have found timewarping
admins to be a bigger problem.
For example checkuser info on indef blocked user
should be shared among
checkusers. If user 'A' is banned on wiki 'X' and then decides to
register
the account 'B' on the wiki 'Y' the local community should be prepared
for
it.
I have no use for this kind of infectious paranoia.
