The
Klingon Language Wiki is a free and public database for anything related to the
Klingon language. This includes not only grammar and vocabulary questions, but also any kind of background information regarding the
History of Klingon, available products and any kind of
appearance in movies and TV-shows. Information about
Star Trek are only explained where necessary or related to klingon.
As of today, the wiki contains 1306 German pages, 1563 English articles, 169 articles in Dutch and 131 French pages.
Reason for the wiki
The Klingon Language Wiki was intended as a replacement for the broken wiki of the
KLI, which had had access difficulties starting 2004 and was not accessible from 2009 to 2014. After the new rush for the
Klingon language evoked by
Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013, questions arose several times whether the
KLI was dying. This was a major motivation to re-initiate the KLI wiki, to show the world that the Klingon language is going on.
In the meantime, the KLI was working on its own new website, and also its
own wiki. It seems though that the goals of their wiki and this wiki are slightly different, so this wiki will keep standing alone and teaching Klingon, while the KLI's wiki is set up for the KLI members to work together.
Creation Log
2014-02-20 Domain Setup
The installation and configuration of the wiki started in February
2014. In the first step, the wiki could be reached through a subdomain of the
qepHom Saarbrücken's website, wiki.qephom.de.
2014-03-02 Configuration
The software is installed, now configuration starts to give the wiki an individual look. As a basic structure, archived articles from the old
KLI wiki were imported, cleaned up and adapted to the new layout.
At this time it was not clear yet that the KLI was also working on updating their own wiki. Due to several technical and legal problems, it was not possible to combine this Klingon Language Wiki with the wbsite of the KLI.
2014-03-24 Internal Presentation
The new wiki is presented first to
Lawrence M. Schoen, the director of the
KLI. He seems generally interested, but wants to "wait" with the wiki until the planned satellite web of KLI-websites is finished and set up.
2014-03-29 Re-configuration
The wiki is renamed from "KLIwiki" to "KlingonWiki", so that public access is possible without interfering with the KLI's projects. After the long wait, it would be ineffective to leave a ready-to-use wiki in a hidden space.
2014-03-30 Public announcement
After being announced on Facebook and in the
Email discussion forum, several new members have registered.
2014-08-01 Dutch part added
A
dutch section of the wiki has been started.
2015-02-01 new domain
Since February 2015, the wiki has a new domain to be reached at:

2018-03-01 Spanish section
After several requests, a
Spanish section was started in 2018, but has nearly no translated pages, because there are no editors.
2019-08-01 dictionary section
A new section entitled "
Dictionary of Comtemporary Klingon" is added to the wiki used for definitions and explanations of words.
2020-03-29 new domain
A new and shorter domain is installed:
klingon.wiki

Foswiki, current version
v1.1.9, with Plugin API version
