This vote is the dumbest of the votes held so far
(unfortunately I expect
even worse in the future). Average contributor has absolutely zero clue about
technical issues that make one of the syntaxes preferable.
The page should start with "this vote requires substantial amount of
technical approach and can be considered as the part of the mediawiki
development process, if you do not feel like being informed enough to vote,
don't worry and don't vote.".
Basically: if you feel you cannot vote, don't.
It's like voting on whether to use British or
American spelling in Wikipedia,
with majority of voters being native Chinese.
Good example, bad conclusion. I am a native speaker of Hungarian and I'd
vote for British spelling, since that's what I've learned in the school.
English speaking Chinese probably do have preferences too.
And additionally I wouldn't expect non-english speaking Chinese to vote in
that voting.
