I totally don't get this. You call Klingon a "joke project" when it has a strong following, widespread enthusiasm, a complete grammar and vocabulary, etc., but then you allow something like Toki Pona, which is hardly even a language and arouses interest solely by being very much indistinguishable from a joke.
I think our policy has been ad hoc and inconsistent, but really I had nothing to do with Toki Pona.
I don't think that Klingon is a joke project. It's something of a cultural phenomenon. I would not be *adamantly* opposed to a Klingon Wikipedia, even though I do think it would be bad. The main upside that I can see is that it gives me something funny to say to reporters, who will very much enjoy writing about that fact.
http://tokipona.wikipedia.org/ shows 1 change in the last 7 days, and only a few changes in the past few months. I am not opposed to keeping it as a courtesy to the people who are using it, but I am also not opposed to getting rid of it if it is causing feelings of unfairness.
