	An '''interwiki faction standard''' is the collective equivalent of an [[interwiki identity standard]].

			''This section approved by [[Trolls]].''

			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.
