"If we're going to have an mo: encyclopedia (and it's not at all obvious to me that this is the right solution), then it had better allow the inclusion of text in the official Moldovan alphabet."

Well, that's exactly what I've been arguing for. The Moldovan Wikipedia cannot be Cyrillic-only, even if there is a notice redirecting Latin-script users to ro.wiki.

"But should WP really have a "Moldovan" Wikipedia?"

Personally, I wouldn't really mind if the Moldovan Wikipedia would just continue to redirect to the Romanian Wikipedia. However, the issue of Cyrillic content still remains. There are clearly contributors who want to provide content in Moldovan Cyrillic. Therefore, we need to facilitate that. Or we cannot. We can simply say that we won't accept Cyrillic content, just how we won't accept Romanian written without diacritics even though 75% of the online Romanian users doesn't use them, or just how we don't accept Latin script in the Russian Wikipedia. However, because 10% of the Moldovan language speakers use Cyrillic script, I think we should facilitate content in that script. The best way to do that would be to set up a new subdomain at mo-cyr.wikipedia.org.
