The Klingon Language Wiki is a free and public database for anything related to the Klingon language, initiated in April 2014. It 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 is only explained where necessary or related to Klingon. It is the world's largest archive about the Klingon language.
The wiki is available in four languages and, as of August 2016, contains 908 German pages, 706 English articles, 129 articles in Dutch, and 51 French pages.
Reason for the wiki
The Klingon Language Wiki was created by Klingon expert Lieven L. Litaer and was intended as a replacement for the broken wiki of the Klingon Language Institute (KLI), which had access difficulties starting in 2004 and was not accessible from 2009 to 2014. After the new rush for the Klingon language evoked by the movie Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013, questions arose about the existence of the KLI.[1] This was a major motivation to re-initiate the KLI wiki, to show the world that the Klingon language is thriving.
In the meantime, the KLI was working on its own new website and 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 KLI members to work together.
Software
The wiki is running the open-source software Foswiki, current version v1.1.9, with Plugin API version 2.2.
