In Prioritisation of action items for the stewards visit, the 5th point "Ability for global lock/multi lock through CU" looks like it can be done rather easily.
We can do this on the CU extension side as well but that involves messing with SpecialCheckUser which is.. meh. But this can be easily achieved through a JS script. It should be as simple as taking the checkbox values and then passing these values to meta:Special:MultiLock?wpTarget=Foo
Bar.

Event Timeline
I have written the script and pasted it here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Glaisher/cuCAMultiLock.js. It will fail when the URL maximum length is reached but I don't think that would happen too often so it's not a major issue, I guess.
We should probably keep this task open until it's resolved on the extension code.
Since stewards are fine with the implementation and want it on loginwiki as well (see T102254), I'll try to port it over to the extension.
