For anyone who is interested in developing wiki pages that involve
proper names, I have added a page called "Trascrive de Nomes Propre
en LFN" (in English for the moment) that provides the latest updated
rules.  Here is the summary from the first section, which pretty much
says it all:

The basic rules for names in Latin alphabets: Leave as is, but remove
diacritics.

The basic rules for names in non-Latin alphabets: Use the most
accepted transcription, leave vowels, double consonants, and h as is,
but remove diacritics and...

     * change y to i and w to u
     * change k a to c and kh to ch
     * change what is pronounced /ʃ/ to x and /tʃ/ to tx
     * change what is pronounced /ʒ/ to j and /dʒ/ to dj

Not too confusing, as you can see.  I hope you approve.

Best wishes,

George
