Ray-
Of course! Without actually calling the klingophiles
trolls, the
"Ignore the trolls" principle still applies. The Klingon language would
be less successful if it were given full privileges so the everyone
could then actively ignore it. :-)
It's difficult to ignore Klingon when it is plastered over 50 Main Pages
and added as interlanguage links to thousands of serious articles about
human history, politics and religion. That was always my main concern and
the compromise addresses this problem.
I agree with Timwi that Toki Pona should be treated the same, as should
all other minor conlangs, but this has less priority for me because nobody
knows those, and Toki Pona sounds like it's the name of some native tribe
in Papua New Guinea. The potential effect on our reputation is diminished.
Klingon, on the other hand, has been immortalized by The Simpsons and
other mainstream comedies, not to mention Star Trek itself.
By the way, Klingon now has 5 articles, and guess what they're about?
Fictional worlds and concepts from Star Trek. The word "Star Trek" appears
in none of them, so I suspect they don't even establish that they are
fictional. This is the kind of Pandora's Box we are opening here.
