==Redirect to Klingon Wikipedia==
I've tried linking pages to the Klingon Wikipedia using the ISO 639 language codes, and all that happens is that a link to a page shows up on the article. Instead of a redirect to a Klingon Wikipedia page, there's a link to a blank English Wikipedia page entitled "tlh:XXX". I'm just a user, not an admin; so is there anything that can be done?

:No, sorry, we need to patch the installation slightly for this to be rendered. Put the pages on a private to-do list, so you can do this when they are enabled. There is currently an ongoing debate whether or not we should have Klingon langlinks, so it may take time, due to the controversial nature of constructed languages in Wikipedia.

::You can't link to the Klingon Wikipedia. There was a [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-May/010278.html compromise] made on the mailing list that if a Klingon Wikipedia was going to be allowed to exist, it would have to remain hidden from the other Wikipedias, so the ability to link to it was disabled.
