[Wikipedia-l] Policy draft: Wikimedia projects are not the place for national constitution

Wed Nov 15 16:19:07 UTC 2006

That's cool, Brion.
What is this MediaWiki, where can I find
documentation?

The best idea would be to have two interfaces to a
single article base. The Romanian interface ro.wiki,
in Latin script, and a mo-cyr.wiki or ro-cyr for the
Moldovans who are still using cyrillic. Is this
possible?

If yes, then this should be discussed with the people
on ro.wiki. On mo.wiki there are currently just a few
vandals.
