Klingon interwiki-links have been decided not to work. I have always hated this so-called compromise. But now I even find that what happens is that they DO work, but are shown as normal internal links rather than interwiki links. Isn't this contrary to the intentions of this? Now they are even MORE visible than normal interwiki links.
Furthermore, as I have said before, I find this so-called compromise worse than both of the things it is supposed to be a compromise before.
All in all, could we please get to treat Klingon interwiki links the normal way again?

Is this about pywikipediabot again? The solution to that problem is to just remove tlh from the site list.
I can remove tlh from the interwiki table if that would help.

I would support this if it were accompanied by the deletion of the Klingon Wikipedia.

I agree. Until there is some interest in the Klingon Wikipedia, I see no reason for it to continue to exist. There hasn't been a single article edit in the last month.

What about the Lojban Wikipedia?

Yes. Such links should be removed instantly.

No. I'd rather not have links to a race of fictional space aliens on articles like [[World War II]] or [[Rwandan Genocide]]. The absence of such links is the only reason I agreed to having a Klingon Wikipedia in the first place.
If any change to the status quo is made, that should be preceded by a democratic poll like the one currently running on [[m:Wikinews]]. Anything else is unacceptable.
