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

At the moment, Klingon does not appear to me to pass these tests.
And what makes you think that it doesn't?
