Hoi,
That is not how things are. Against the protest of some the mo.wikipedia was
locked. The request was not for locking but for complete removal.

The notion that just because some people want to edit a wiki in any
linguistic entity they can have their project is flatly wrong. There are
requirements that exist for new languages and new projects. When these are
not met, such a request will not be granted.
Thanks,
     GerardM
