[Foundation-l] Dealing with interwiki disruption

[White Cat]

Look let me give a real-life example. Say you commit a crime in the US, if
you were to escape to Mexico you would freely roam aaround because you have
not done anything wrong there.

Each individual wiki is independent yes, but we need a level of
communication among wikis. Like between fr.wikipedia and fr.wikibooks or
en.wiktionary and simple.wikipedia, same language sister project.
