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.

Hoi,
At this moment the requirement is that two
articles on the same topic in
different scripts and identified as such can
coexist on one system. The
ability of converting from one script to the
other
like for Chinese is
something different.
Indeed, those are different and unrelated things,
and both already
possible with MediaWiki today.
As long as there is no automated lossless
conversion from Latin to Cyrillic and from
Cyrillic to Latin AND the
orthography used, MediaWiki does not provide the
required functionality
for Romanian/Moldovan.
That's a third thing, and an implementation detail
for the given
language (eg, already implemented for Serbian, etc).
Nor is it related
to the 'Multilingual MediaWiki' proposal.
One of the things MLMW will also do is allow for
the linking from one
article to another within the same wiki similar
to
the current interwiki
functionality. This is one aspect where MLMW
helps
when multiple scripts
are used.
You can already do that, of course, either manually
(perhaps with a
helpful template), or using the interwiki system
itself.
