Does that mean that logging in to Commons or Wikisource first and then going over to Wikversity would leave him logged back out upon arrival there?
Not to my understanding.
Really? Doesn't that amount to a general defeat, then, of the global SUL lock? Just log in first to one of the sites not in the SUL matrix, and then surf the rest of the sites from there.
Perhaps that's why Mike.lifeguard began using such bizarre entries in the Titleblacklist. As Diego Grez discovered yesterday, there is no known local override, despite the MediaWiki documentation on that extension.
I think this should be raised as an abuse of home rule. Here is Mike.lifeguard, acting on his own, behind the scenes in the bowels of the MediaWiki code, locking out talk pages for blatantly political reasons. He does so without notification, discussion, consensus, or the consent of the local admins on dozens of affected sites, and there is no local option to override his backstage out-of-process machinations.
