Hoi,
The language committee will not visit issues that are a "blast from the 
past" like the Klingon language. The Klingon Wikipedia was ended before 
there was a language committee by Jimmy at Wikimania. To me this implies 
that it would currently be something that would be equivalent to a board 
decision. When the board wants us to consider Klingon, we will consider 
Klingon.

When the board wants us to consider the Klingon Wiktionary, it is an 
existing database where the content is centred on Klingon. It fulfils 
those requirements, so there is no pressing need that requires the 
attention of the language committee.

Not having asked the other members of the committee, it is obviously my 
personal opinion. I am do not mind there being a Klingon Wiktionary, I 
was not bothered about the existence of a Klingon Wikipedia either.

Thanks,
     GerardM
