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.
