The situation is simple.

The current Azeri Wiki is disfunctional because readers of Azeri in Arabic 
script cannot usually read Azeri in Latin script and vice-versa. Reliable and 
reversible transliteration cannot and does not work. One editor even went so 
far as to blank a massive amount of data from the wiki (if I understand 
correctly).  

The fix is easy: A request already exists for a Southern Azeri Wiki, “azb”. The 
work for that is well advanced. All LangCom has to do is approve it, and then 
all Arabic-text data from az.wikipedia.org can be migrated there. 

Once that is done, nothing else needs to be done. Latin-text Azeri can continue 
at az.wikipedia.org. Arabic-text Azeri will be found at azb.wikipedia.org. 

That’s it.
