This is incorrect, after Pavel made a big fuss by trying to move Cyrillic pages to Latin names and replacing their entire contents with Latin copied directly from rowp, the old idea of "no Latin content, go to rowp for that" was sort of amended so that now both are hosted at mowiki. See for example the main page in Latin: http://mo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principal%C4%83_-_latin
Now, I for one think it's sort of ridiculous, but it shouldn't count for nothing.

Yes, maybe. The dispute, however, the way I see it at least, is not over the content per se, but rather the situation it's placed in, that is:
- That the language is called "Moldovan" (I believe, however, calling it
Romanian and writing with Cyrillic would be even more controversial, Romanian nationalists claim otherwise)
- That Cyrillic is hosted on the main mo.wiki subdomain, and no Latin
content is hosted on this subdomain (Latin is the official, majority script). Note that Latin is, however, listed first in the interface.
The problem has also, I believe, been augmented by a series of Mark's actions, although I believe they were in good faith (i.e. the interface was changed just so that it uses different terms to the Romanian Wikipedia, and many of the words don't make sense even to Moldovans).
Which is why I think a good compromise would be the subdomain solution. However, it seems that it was agreed that the existing mo.wiki would be locked down.
