Closure threat
I think the best way we can safeguard the Klingon Wiktionary is by improving the quality and quantity of the articles. It is possible that the stewards may change their minds - I requested sysop status and it was not turned down, just not accepted (yet).

Like all wiktionaries, this one is meant to include all words in all languages, so you could help with translations? Jon 13:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It was not accepted because they do need a consensus in the community first before they provide sysop-status, therefore just make a voting here (even if there is none to vote) and then try it there again. You need a local request-page!
 * Wikis are not being closed because of inactivity.
 * I don't think they can close down a wiki before reaching consensus here because this wiki has been started because there had been consensus there once, isn't it so?

We've haven't got a sysop request page yet. We'll be building one sometime...

My Klingon dictionary does not include translations for singular or plural - its one of the weaknesses of Klingon that the vocabulary is incomplete. It's possible that Okrand has invented these words since the dictionary was written. Try asking MInDu'Donbe' - his Klingon is much better than mine.

I was looking at your changes to Klingon. Normally each language heading appears only once, at level 2 (which is partially hidden becuase of the templates). Underneath the language, there should be one or more part of speech headings at level 3 (i.e. wot, DIp, etc). I've started drafting a style guide, but it's far from incomplete, and is not my first priority just now. And it will be in Klingon...

Klingon
I changed it. Also the pronunciation section is not duplicated and comes before the part of speech. I've blurred the distinction between countable nouns (with a plural) and uncountable nouns (without a plural) for now. Again my dictionary doesn't give translations for countable and uncountable. (This dictionary is going to be hard work!). Jon 17:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't even know the Klingon for south or north, and they're not in TKD (the Klingon Dictionary - you should probably get a copy). Sorry. Jon 21:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Your stuff about Doych: Adjektiv (de) + Doych: Eigenschaftswort (de). The template is set up so that it can take more than one parameter - see pagh for an example. Somebody needs to change the  template likewise, it's not that important though, Delmu' is just about acceptable.
 * With regard to translations of proper nouns, other Klingon speakers don't. For example, this page refers to Cuba, and then later to Isaac Newton. That page is from the KLI, I found their postal course hard going but useful - it's not really a postal course just PDF files that you can download.
