There are many Persian users living abroad that may still want to support their language, even if the normal Internet accesses are closed in Iran (also in Afghanistan? where the "Dari" is a local variant of Persian, or in Pakistan where there's also a significant minority of Persian speakers, or in Irak within the Shiite community). In any event they should not be excluded to opt-out some features whenever the service come back, instead of discovering much later that some options have been opted in without allowing them to control what has happened. The current closure of Internet in Iran just means that we have time to support these translations and review them correctly even if the usage may be lower that expected during this transition period, and visitors/contributors of Persian wikis is low for now. But here this is in settings for a general Mediawiki extension which is highly integrated; and there are probably other non-Wikimedia wikis based on MediaWiki that may be using Parsoid, that would need local updates of the interface on these external wikis used in schools/universities, hospitals, local NGOs or international actors working in humanitary organizations (and employing local resources), and some local businesses. MediaWiki should remain open as much as possible, and independant of political situations (as much as permitted by locally applicable laws). The Persian language is not (and should not be) banned.
