Hi all,
I have a question: why do we have separate Wikipedias for Malay and Indonesian?
I've often asked the same question, this is my personal favourite
linguistic hobby horse. Presumably any merge would have to occur with
much input and help from the editor communities on each wiki, and I'm
yet to make contact with any of them. They don't seem to be too
concerned about the issue themselves, judging by the fact that none of
them has brought a merge proposal to the Board, the developers or this
list.
Is there anybody who happens to participate in both communities? If so,
they might be best placed to explain the situation.
