OTRS has received a request for this wiki to be taken down, stating that Moldovian is just Romanian written in cyrillic, in a way imposed by the Communists. (I'm not saying this is true, I have no opinion on the issue, I'm just reporting.)
Not that simple see:
[[Transnistria]]
At the very least it's a problematic name. The Republic of Moldova decrees that Latin is the official script of Moldovan, while their breakaway republic of Transnitria decrees that it's Cyrillic. If we're hosting one in Cyrillic and giving it the "Moldovan" ISO language code, we seem to be taking sides in that dispute---and what's more, taking sides with the unrecognized breakaway republic and against the internationally recognized nation. That seems like an awkard position to be taking.
