[Foundation-l] Dealing with interwiki disruption

[White Cat]

Consider the scenario where a disruptive user is indefinitely blocked on a
particular wiki. He decides to have a "fresh start" in causing the same
slow-paced disruption on all sister projects one by one...

All wikis are independent, yes. But when dealing with interwiki disruption,
this should not get in the way of collaboration between wikis in dealing
with disruptive users.

Interwiki vandals for example are promptly dealt with with or without this
collaboration but other kinds of disruption, particularly slow paced ones
need such collaboration.

We currently lack such a median and communication between wikis to deal with
interwiki issues such as interwiki disruption.
