Transdnistria is not an independent state, it is a part of Moldova and it is 
not recognized in the world.If my neighbor suddenly decides to have the 
official language written using chinese symbols that doesn't mean it has to 
be on the official page of a country's official language. Whatever language 
is used there it is not officially recognized and the ISO code mo stands for 
the language based on latin alphabet and not cyrillic. And let's get serious 
most of the people from the Transdn. region either know Romanian and write 
it properly or don't know it at all.

And what you say sounds to me like that: There is a country A that has the 
official language as english. Then there's a country/region B that adopts 
english also as their language but written in morse code, so they modify the 
en.wikipedia.org's main page to have a pleasant interface combined of both 
and a warm welcome "If you want it in latin script click here"  and ".. ..-. 
/  -.-- --- ..- /  .-- .- -. - /  .. - /  .. -. /  -- --- .-. ... . /  -.-. 
--- -.. . /  -.-. .-.. .. -.-. -.- /  .... . .-. . .-.-.-". Wonderful idea, 
no ? This is exactly the current situation with mo.wiki

If you still want to have some weird language, no problem, invent your own 
name for it (not derived from mo) and put it on wiki, just don't use our 
official "mo".
