Can you be more specific please?
The situation is simple.
The current Azeri Wiki is disfunctional because readers of Azeri in Arabic script cannot
usually read Azeri in Latin script and vice-versa. Reliable and reversible transliteration
cannot and does not work. One editor even went so far as to blank a massive amount of data
from the wiki (if I understand correctly).
The fix is easy: A request already exists for a Southern Azeri Wiki, “azb”. The work for
that is well advanced. All LangCom has to do is approve it, and then all Arabic-text data
from
az.wikipedia.org can be migrated there.
Once that is done, nothing else needs to be done. Latin-text Azeri can continue at
az.wikipedia.org. Arabic-text Azeri will be found at
azb.wikipedia.org.
That’s it.
