This doesn't have the problems of global blocking,

extremely useful in stopping wiki-jumping vandals. Without crosswiki
blocking, a steward needs to navigate to each project, register an
account or log in, navigate to Special:Userrights and set admin access
from Meta, navigate to Special:Blockip and block the vandal from the
local project, and switch back to Special:Userrights on Meta to remove
their admin access. By the time they're done, the vandal has hit six
more wikis. Obviously, the current way we do things is ridiculous and
not scalable in the least.
So, how many times have people suggested steward-bots so far? :)
