Okay, if we're moving forward with an all or one model, perhaps a drop-down
menu would be best here. The issue is that there are a lot of Wikimedia wikis
(over 700, I believe), so a drop-down menu quickly becomes painful to scroll
through. If we already know who the user is, though, I wonder if we can't sort
a menu by number of edits that the user has. For example, for my account, this
would be:

Allowed on wiki:
 * [all]
 * en.wikipedia.org
 * meta.wikimedia.org
 * commons.wikimedia.org
 * [other]

And selecting [other] might then present a text input as a last resort.

I'm still of the belief that using a text input here is a bad idea and should
be avoided. There are other (JavaScript-based) solutions we can explore as
well.
