In my experience, when this kind of person is
blocked from editing one
article (e.g. via page protection), he or she typically moves on to
start edit warring on a related article. A good example is one of the
people currently being proposed for RfAR, who has managed to get perhaps
10 articles protected so far, one after another, returning to the
originals for further revert warring when they are unprotected again.
Well, the feature I have in mind would allow the user to be blocked from
an arbitrary list of articles. In the scenario you refer to, the effect
would be the same for the badly behaving user, they would continue to
move from article to article. The difference is that other editors would
still be able to edit the articles left behind. Since the collateral
damage is lower, action could be taken sooner, and the bad user would
run out of related articles to edit more quickly.
