--- Comment #26 from jeremyb <[email protected]> ---
To elaborate a bit:

the punctuation is most important for those people less involved with your
region or chapters in general. Imagine the headache if we assigned chapters,
thorgs and langs numeric subdomains and you didn't know which wiki a URL was
associated with unless you happened to have that subdomain's numeric mapping
memorized??? enwiki would be 0.wikimedia.org because it came first… (or for
that matter we could just do away with DNS entirely :D)

Having mappings be as obvious as possible is very valuable. (within reason. I'm
not suggesting spelling the whole thing out with no abbreviation either)
