If I understand correctly, yue wikipedia is currently using javascript to provide transliteration into hans (simp. chinese)? shouldn't that be done by language converter too?

This is just requesting such action

Also there's hasn't any consensus for the Yue community to implementing any Language Converter Functions onto the Yue language.
For my opinion I would oppose to implement the Language Converter Functions for the Yue language.

This would not be an enhancement. I have worked at a newspaper publisheer before and I know very well the pitfalls of any such language converters; the last thing I’d like to see is to introduce all the typos typical of automatic language conversion onto my now-home wiki.

In fact I stopped using zhwiki partly because of the existence of the language converter. This ticket should be closed as invalid.
