FWIW, the Scots Wikipedia clusterfuck does not seem to have been malicious, "just" the result of extreme ignorance and teenagerhood -- kid who didn't understand that running some words through an online English-Scots dictionary does not qualify as "translation", and refused to listen when actual speakers started calling him on things.
It's still a shitshow but does not seem to have been deliberate vandalism.
Scots language experts have put out a call for actual Scots speakers to help unfuck the Wikipedia, and seem on for using it as an opportunity to build interest in the actual language:
