I wonder if a page called something like [[wikipedia:Current edit wars]]
might be a good idea. When somebody spots that they or others are
becoming involved in an edit war, they could put a link on that
page.
That way, "outsiders" with less of a stake in that particular
war might be able to contribute some neutrality.
Just, y'know, a random passing thought.

Sounds good, but, you know, dragging in a sysop or someone else with
"authority" is just another tactic. And often they just get caught up in
the same dynamic without knowing the background of the dispute.
