There are still a few minor problems left over from the transfer, but none important enough to make us rush to clean them up. nl ended up with something else because the software was copied from the nl Wikipedia in the interest of having something workable available quickly. I don't think that there is much opposition to having all the Wiktionaries on UTF-8. It is only speculation on my part to say that Tim would favour having every project on UTF-8 (he can speak best for himself), but the Beer Parlour context had to do with first letter capitalization. See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Beer_parlour/case-sensitivity_vote at the very end. Please don't confuse the two issues. Ec
