FYI: The other email sent to this mailing list is not the case I asked around (and I haven't got any response from the university yet). Also the top signature there is actually the user behind lrcwiki (you can find his name in archives).On Mon, Oct 12, 2020 at 1:02 AM MF-Warburg <mfwarburg@googlemail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Am Fr., 9.

Actually fun fact, my then-roommate in university dorm is Lur and from Khorramabad and he was one of the first ones who said he couldn't understand it. Laki and Luri Khorramabadi are completely different things.Re your general note - that should be clear to everyone and I hope that the proponents of lrc.wikipedia don't come up with more such nonsense which only makes them look bad.Regarding renaming the wiki: (My sysadmin hat on) It's basically impossible. We only renamed be-x-old to be-tarask and it still causing issues (last month all interwiki links to be-tarask broke), I have some plans to improve it, especially handling of discrepancies between the dbname and dns name but it's going to take a while. Also a rename is only redirecting the traffic from dns, the database name stays the same (and it's definitely unchangeable for lots of reasons, let me know if you want to know more). So if we rename lrc.wikipedia.org to lki.wikipedia.org, it still will be named lrcwiki in the database and prevents us from having an actual lrcwiki if the time comes.(My sysadmin hat off). I don't understand the content but I have a feeling it's not very much salvageable even for the lkiwiki (Imagine pretending to be German Wikipedia but actually being written in Dutch, it shows itself in the content too).Thank you for reading my long emails :DThe easiest solution for a "rename" would probably be to create a new wiki and do an import. But we are probably far away from this being necessary here.
