This looks like the debate on whether Moldovan is a language or just Romanian.
There have been edit wars on the English Wikipedia on this very point. I think this needs careful investigation to make sure this wasn't an invasion from the Romanian wiki.

Hi, I would like to know how it's possible to change the name of the interwiki link for the Moldovan language from the current "молдовенясl 2;э" to "молдовенясl 2;э (чириликэ)". I talked to Node and he said I should contact a developer, so if there are any developers reading this and you have some spare time, I would be very thankful if you could change it in this way for mo.wiki.
The reason behind the change is because such a change was specified in the Ronline proposal that was approved by the majority of Moldovan Wikipedia users for the future of the wiki.
See: http://mo.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ronline/Propunere#en:Proposal
The explanation is: "Mo.wikipedia.org will be linked from other Wikipedias using the name "молдовенясl 2;э (чириликэ)". This is to signify that the link is to a Moldovan (Cyrillic) page and that Moldovan is usually written in Latin script."
It was basically a compromise after a huge round of negotiations over at the Moldovan Wikipedia.
Thanks,
Ronline
