OTRS has received a request for this wiki to be

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.
Indeed. I would say that the wiki should probably be taken down
completely while things get straightened out. What became of the
proposal to make mo: a dual-character set mirror of ro:?
