Revert r84615, complaints received from ml.wikipedia.org. Just because a language has its own set of numerals doesn't mean writers of that language prefer to use them. You can make these changes on a case-by-case basis, after community consultation.

It can't exactly be done by community by community... It'd have to be ALL the wikis using that language (in it's current implementation)

I think we only differ on the definition of "community".

#Comment by Reedy (talk | contribs)   23:40, 24 March 2011

I was thinking of language + project = community...

Just post to a mailing list, after wait a few hours for anyone to object.

That would work if there were plenty of Malayalam speakers reading new posts on every mailing list every hour or two. The reason I reverted this wasn't because of process, it's because it was wrong. Malayalam speakers really don't want Malayalam numerals. There's a good chance that many of the other languages in this commit are in a similar position. The reason they haven't requested this change is because they don't want it.
