Indeed: Such a Wikipedia would be chaos.
It does mirror the proposal from Meta however of a Wikipedia where Cantonese and Mandarin and English, in characters and in romanisation (any romanisation of your choosing, no specific one) are all mixed together in one Wikipedia... except even MORE confusing!

Oh, don't be serious on that remark. I think it is sacrastic. Read the threads on the request for Wikipedia in Chinese dialects (regional speeches) and you will understand why I think so.

You mean you want to have all these in the same wikipedia? That would not be useful because very few people can read all these.

I have an idea: Let's just make a zh-whatever: for all the different things relating to Chinese that people want. They can mix Cantonese with Wu with Mandarin, some romanized, some using characters, they can add classical chinese, even jiaguwenzi (tortoise shell ancient characters), as well as zhuyin fuhao, and dungan (ie sichuan mandarin writtne in cyrillic basically), and we can also mix in English and Russian and Portuguese and Korean.
So what do you think?
