Hoi,
In the past we have been where we are now with Wikidata and new language
codes with new Wikipedias. The result was mayhem, and everything was just
as the "community" decided. The result is the many Wikipedias that have
no community. As a result the Language Committee took the place of "the
community"and from that moment new Wikipedias do conform to standards.

I have seen too many requests that are problematic that will in my opinion
not bring anything to Wikidata. I find a lack of purpose in what is
proposed. I do understand a purpose for texts as they were originally but
where is the purpose in adding labels that have arbitrarily transliterated
in other scripts.

There is no point. It is not the "community" supporting this it hidden in
phabricator.
Thanks,

GerardM
