Please, no. We've discussed this in several places recently, but:
1) The ZH community has kept it consolidated to keep critical mass together
2) Doing so will make a future technical solution easier to implement
3) It's not a good time anyway, since the ZH accessibility is in flux

I don't know how to reply to the list thread but I really like Mark's idea
about splitting
zh.wikipedia.org into
zh-cn.wikipedia.org and
zh-tw.wikipedia.org. This would really solve the problem of navigation
conflicts. I wasn't suggesting this for political reasons but for practical
reasons since the writing scripts conflict with each other.
Whoever is able to split the portal into 2 categories, please do so.
Thanks!

Mark's comment:
Interlanguage links are already done with [[zh-tw:]] and [[zh-cn:]], so
perhaps we could simply split
zh.wikipedia.org into
zh-cn.wikipedia.org
and
zh-tw.wikipedia.org, with
zh.wikipedia.org being a disambiguating
portal? Of course, this is more up to Chinese-speakers than it is to
myself; just a suggestion that would be consistent with our current
usage. Having separate interlanguage links going to one encyclopedia
that is effectively written in a mixture of two writing systems that are
often not mutually intelligible is more than a little bit odd.
