The differences between West Frisian (spoken in the Netherlands) and
East Frisian (spoken in Saterland) are massive.
It would be rediculous to use the same Wikipedia.
It might be different if fy: already had some content in Saterland
Frisian, but to the best of my knowledge it is entirely in Western
Frisian with the exception of one article which is bilingual in
Western Frisian and North Frisian, and bilingual I mean it has two
separate versions)

I believe you mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saterland_Frisian_language.
For the purposes of ISO 639 codes, Saterland Frisian is regarded as a
dialect of Frisian. Can you provide a rationale for why working
within the Frisian Wikipedia is not tenable?
I seem to recall reading that there were different spelling
conventions for the Frisian spoken in Germany and that spoken in the
Netherlands. I have no idea how significant these differences are.
