Some of us have been wanting to add a Wikipedia in the Toki Pona language. We normally use the 2 letter abbreviation "tp" for this language. How can it be added so we can translate all the preliminary pages?
As I understand, policy is: * If the language has a (2-letter) ISO 639-1 code, use it * Otherwise, if the language has a (3-letter) ISO 639-2 code, use it * Otherwise, make up a 3-letter code ourselves
Toki Pona is not in ISO 639 (and seen from the size and importance of it, that does not surprise me). The ISO 639-1 code 'tp' is not in use, but if we're going to have tp.wikipedia.org, I think Tok Pinin would be a better candidate than Toki Pona. All in all I would say that a 3-letter code would be better, and that for me personally it's getting to the level where I doubt whether having it would be good at all.
Although I do not know Klingon, I believe it would be a good idea to add it as a possible Wikipedia language. I am sure there are many enthusiasts out there who are willing to develop it.
Klingon would be code tlh.
