I'm going to repeat what I've said before on this matter: much of this
is already covered by the blocking policy. Making personal attacks is
blockable. Posting personal information is blockable. Making threats
is blockable. Doing anything that puts someone else in danger is
blockable.

All we need to do is make it clear that whether you do on the wiki, or
somewhere else that you link to from the wiki, you get blocked for it.
