I can not say I'm a big fan of a Klingon wiki. the more I think about it the more of a waste it seems, nobody is going to be looking to learn about topics while reading in Klingon, I think it mostly will be used by people learning the language or just for leisure. While I dont like that I have to be fair and say that besides the language origin I see no difference between Klingon and Lojban, Logban Interlingua and Esperanto.. i mean really.. lets be honest... this argument is largely biased because some people see Klingon as a very geeky thing and dont want to "look stupid or look geeky" i think this is really dumb and you know its no good to have Klingon cause it's geeky, but its OK to have Interlingua and Esperanto because they are percieved as more intellectual? get over it people... i'm not oposing the creation of the Klingon wiki, but I think i'd be happier if it wasn't around

Just for the record, I am against creating any conlang wikipedia, unless it can be shown that the conlang is currently used by a very substantial community, or some other compelling argument can be made for its creation. At the moment, Klingon does not appear to me to pass these tests.
And what makes you think that it doesn't?
