If you're talking about sharing a blocklist between different
Wikipedias (or even different projects), can I suggest that instead of
defining which sites will be blocked, simply record information about
various sites, and allow projects to block based on that information.
That is, label "x.com is an open proxy", then "block all open
proxies", rather than "x.com must be blocked"...

Blocking could be checked against two tables (or even a table array). The
first one would be per-wiki, while the second one would be shared between
wikis.
Then, how would it be configured?
*Should any wikipedia admin be able to (un)block anyone?
*Should it be only done via meta / stewards?
*How would global-blocking be locally handled? Should local project have a
local-whitelist?
*An special page for it or integrated in the specialblock (a new checkmark
for example)?
*If we have blocks on both tables, with different expire time, which should
apply?
