An '''interwiki faction standard''' is the collective equivalent of an [[interwiki identity standard]].  It would allow for persistent association of identities, individuals and views over multiple [[large public wiki]]s.  So far it seems to be advocated only by people who are called "[[trolls]]" on some of these, and who often appear as [[new troll]]s on wikis that don't know of them.  Presumably they would wish to retain a reputation of their own choice, that is, a faction, rather than always being assigned one by the cliques on the new wiki where they arrive.  It is unclear if this is a good thing, so there is no advocacy of such a standard at present among any non-troll/political faction.

As wikis begin to implement factions, it will make it difficult for factions to co-operate  cross-wiki.  To ease this co-operation, the [[interwiki faction standard]] is proposed.
 
It would built on and complement the proposed [[interwiki identity standard]] for self-declared individual identity.  It is likely that individuals would belong to different factions on different [[large public wiki]]s, they having different purposes and different critical distinctions.  However, the mechanisms and [[control verb]]s by which one is asserted to be in a faction, accepts or denies that assertion, joins other factions, or is relegated to the default [[vandals]] faction that one ends up in if no faction (not even the [[trolls]]) will accredit one's edit as being of any use.
 
Once implemented, the OurAnswer:reds could make a decision to be the same as the Recyclopedia:reds, etc., to set default faction membership as faction members or [[new troll]]s (those who are asserted to have, but do not themselves claim to have, a particular bias) arrive.  This would be up to the factions not the [[sysop power structure]] on each such wiki, resulting in less [[sysopism]] hopefully.
