After recent ISO-639-1/2 changes (http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php), 'mo' language code becomes deprecated, and Moldavian or Moldovan become alternate names for Romanian (ro). Therefore, this code should be removed from Mediawiki files such as: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/Names.php?view=markup This also affects Wikimedia resources such as mo.wikipedia.org, which uses a non-existing code and, IMHO, I think this has little sense to exist as official project in Wikimedia. Actually this has also received little activity for months. In contrast to other languages such as Serbian, Romanian using Cyrillic script is not a contemplated option and only Latin script should prevail. http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry http://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2005-m11/0341.html
Changed Component to Site Rquests
As long as mo.wikipedia.org exists, this code is not going to be removed. If you are thinking of requesting that wiki to be closed, you should make such a request on meta.wikimedia.org. Until then, this request is INVALID here.
Thanks Siebrand, I see there is already a lot of buzz there.
