for me, on Firefox, the Toki Pona Forums is broken
but on Chrome, it is functional
please we desperately need a bot to archive the website
in [[History]], there are multiple sections with just a line saying 'x person published x article in x newspaper + reference', should I move all of them to [[Media coverage]]
Where possible, please provide a source and a complete date. When adding a new link, please archive it via both Wayback Machine and archive.today or archive.is.
Siobhan, nooooooooo!!
You aren't supposed to capitalize the first letter (in the "You say tomato…" section)
Dang, do we have any specific information on the other usages this article mentions
The Coloradan computer game, the conlang concert
I do think those should be mentioned in History, citing the article
okie...
so then
abababababab
we should try to find more info before that
this is such a silly image
psst hey listen i wanna tell you a secret
*klaxon*
…i don't know
i am very tired
Also with how this community talks about jo, the sentence "Ale li jo e tenpo" is very interesting
because i'm trained to think it must be a very purposeful and uncalquey use of the word,,
Not just everything has a time, but everything stakes a claim to a time, dedicating that time to itself
thonkin
Tell me you're in the habit of archiving these btw
Should the history article be past-tensed?
what parts of it
I forgor
we need a bot for that because I am too slow to do that 
we do
but also
if you make a bookmark and set this as the URL
javascript:void(location.href='https://web.archive.org/save/'+location.href);
then whenever you press it it'll archive the currently viewed webpage
o
there is also an official Wayback Machine browser extension but bookmarklets still work across browsers and on mobile and stuff, i think
can you put a bookmark in the toolbar
then yeas
how 🥺
ahh
oh,,.
I thought it could be like in the side like next to the icons maybe
let me try something thne
a
it worked yappii
You can add a Bookmarks button to the toolbar and add it under Bookmarks Menu
yippee
wha how
That must be a new feature, i've never seen that before
like I set it up as way2 and then it goes to the page
How did you get them to only show up as icons
When i try to do that it insists on showing labels
this is way easier heck yeah
what is the shortcut to select and jump to the searchbar Ctrl + L
yeah i use that all the time
I should too
o do
i'm going year-by-year
and urgh, can Wikipesijærs only write in passive voice or something 
literally
I wanna help but I know that edit conflicts are such a pain 
i'll be fine
this time,,
also i'm looking at these Wikipedia article deletion nominations
and so much of the rationale is so bad
I didn't even look,
This was not even a decade ago
toki pakaler from them
Okay this was slightly over a decade ago
2013
you get what i'm saying
although it is pretty hilarious that people thought the language was abandoned like you did not know what was coming next year
but like,,
mi kepeken ilo [Web Archives] tan ni → ilo mi li kama ala jo e lipu kepeken tenpo lili la ilo pi kulupu [Internet Archive] li kama pilin e ni → lipu ni li lon ala ← li tawa lipu ilo ona
kin ilo mi li sona e ilo awen mute
- Keep. It is the only conlang I know of that was used as a base for an independent art form called sitelen sitelen, a fascinating non-linear hieroglyphic writing system which is notable in itself. http://jonathangabel.com/projects/t47 this Toki Pona article needs revamping, not deletion.
this is not
what notability means??
gjdslkfs
they thought it was over, until the Book came
i'm a tokiponer and i don't think i could make a solid case for sitelen sitelen being notable "in itself", outside of warranting a description on the Toki Pona article
i can't recall seeing any media coverage of it specifically
"i think it's pretty therefore it needs an encyclopedia entry" is not logisch help me i thought it was only this wild on the Bowser talkpage
"Don't flatter yourself, petty nonacademic."
We can talk all day about the strangest fan wikis, but it's hard to beat some of the stuff that happens on Wikipedia itself. Let's explore a legendary dispute from Bowser's talk page, and analyze why it happened.

oh god
I've privately asked a few active people if they would be interested in managing Toki Pona. It's an option I need to consider.
wtf she was going to abandon it after all
oh shit i'm still barely through this page
and i gotta go
@split grail you get to help after all 👁️
oh
truee
oh lord I did not know this at all
I love it so much gjsdklfjsdfskjdf
'don't flatter yourself, you petty non-academic' will now enter my vocabulary
more people need to know about this video
for notes that we have transferred to sona pona, should we go back and change them.,
li is a particle used to introduce the predicate, that is, it separates the subject from the rest of the sentence.
oh uh

uploading [[c:Category:Toki Pona pronunciations by kala Asi]]

this is a lil confusing
listing both "la lingvo de bono" and then "Tokipono"
"translated" may be misinterpreted as, oh, that's what speakers of Esperanto/French/German tend to call it
I've read it in its entirety and could edit an article on it; what's the idea of the purpose of such an article? Presumably a summary is in order? Characters?
Has anyone solved all the puzzles in it?
where I presume it'd be like a game article on English Wikipedia
it's obviously relevant possibly
with the encyclopedia thingies saying like
Development
Reception
Impact
Gameplay
Reception
External Links
References
I haven't yet had experience so what the thingies would say would depend
I uploaded [[c:File:R-place 2022 - Toki Pona.png]], not sure how to licence this however
it is as {{PD-shapes}} rn, which I don't know if is correct at all
it gets weirder for art more ahead, because it's a community project.,
uh for now uhm
@charred otter is it okay to use your art from r/place
(I think that it was you who made this, unless I read the messages on that thread wrong, then sorry I am so eepy rn, insomnia
)
[[c:File:Kijetesantakalu lon ma tomo Win.jpg]] ← this too by Ke Tami, I assume the licence which is not right but like aaaa
otherwise, I think it funny that there is a [[c:Category:/r/Place]] but there's only the logos, palettes, blank and, of course, tokey bona
oh that too
oh yea thats an old version though
I am, aware
I will also include that as a original version and then the final one
this innit
i think there was a heart on the right with italy? but maybe not
but yeah if its up to me (i dont really know how it works for a collaborative thing like r/place) you can use it for whatever
i dont really know how it works for a collaborative thing like r/place
literally
if people come to me complaining or delete the image, then I will know
I will go fuck around and find out
sounds like the best choice there is
what's it being used for btw?
or is it just a file to use on the wiki wherever it's applicable
wiki yeah
uploading it here would mean that anyone could use it
[[c:File:R-place 2022 - Toki Pona (final).png]]
alright awesome
…are you gonna put them on the article or should i
A sitelen pona font for sitelen pona is created by jan Wesi.
okay the whole jan headnoun thing makes it very longwinded to talk about multiple people with uncreatively headnouned Toki Pona names
and i have a really bad idea that i'm not actually going to use
jan Elin, jan Wena, jan Male, jan Mimoku, jan Tomi, jan Piki, jan Jana, jan Mika, jan Masin
jans Elin, Wena, Male, Mimoku, Tomi, Piki, Jana, Mika, Masin

for something as simple as copying the timestamp, author, and video title, this is weirdly tiring
because you are literally doing the same thing over and over and over
true but its weird this takes so long
what was created

soweli,.
im gonna introduce a distinction between covers (i.e. singing the same song) and translations (singing a song that youve translated)
I think we could make some articles for nonstandard resources like yu, r/OffThePu (which allegedly came up with a lot of SP glyphs that are still the main ones in fonts today), etc., just to have them documented with the same care as other parts of the language's development
If anyone can think of similar things to write about, consider should do that ing
it would be good
also a list as a collection of these sources
all resources off the top of my head (both standard? and not)

@upbeat summit on some word articles, should we maybe excluse weird nimisin
not from the wiki, but move them to a new article
like [obscure words] or something
if you find it prudent
yeah
ah wait i thought you meant moving them to individual articles
or that
that'd be more of a Thing to agree on i think

yeah. that would be weird kinda
ale la sina wile e ilo pi nasa esun ala la o alasa lon poka pi nimi github
because like, it does feel weird mentioning these obscure words on word articles. the target audience is people that don't know them right? so then even with saying that oh it's obscure and not used, we kinda are putting a spotlight on it
this was why i wanted to put historical stuff in a collapsible :P
something something Wikipedia guidelines, something something 'the article on Earth should not talk about flat Earth theories' idk idr
collapsibles don't feel like the right thing yknow,,
Numbers/Obscure
[[Nonstandard number words]]
Toki Pona speakers have coined many nonstandard number words. Some are archaic words from early in Toki Pona's history; others are part of alternative number systems.
taso o tawa e ona

but then we have to double up on the non-related words
and and
"obscure" is mainly used on here as a Linku term
and we'd have to update it every year

unrelated, part of me hopes theres some snowball effect where sona.pona.la becomes good enough that slowly teachers and then regular users start using it as the hub for all information and editing it
yesss

In Toki Pona, there is no single word for "yes", as in English. This is similar to many natural languages, such as Chinese, Irish, Latin, Thai, and Welsh.

Lineup of some mascots. From left to right, stickers catgirl, jan pi toki pona, meli pi telo nasa, and kijetesantakalu (jan Ke Tami)
This is a list of unofficial mascots for Toki Pona or otherwise famous in the community.
Ok so uh who is going to make the Toki Pona mascots Super Smash Bros clone
UTALA

OMG
btw, I made a rough list of toki pona characters before and I think it might be useful here, I'll upload it later
eh, I'll upload it now
second thought, I don't think I can upload it in convenient way
why)
third thought, it is now a github repo https://github.com/neverRare/toki-pona-character-directory
there's one artist that I can't track from https://github.com/neverRare/toki-pona-character-directory#unnamed-1
there's some characters that doesn't look toki pona but it is tagged "toki pona" so I've included it anyway
o
I didn't actually see this today, aaaa it is so good
I am very much focused on the Unicode application so aaa
if someone is okay with using MediaWiki's horrible horrible file uploader, then make sure to upload those and add them to the article :>
plus to [[mu]], add that mu can mean 'gesture'
mu is a core semiparticle and content word relating to animal noises and other onomatopoeia.
how so
im considering writing a sitelen Kililisa article
theres more to it than just listing a single set of letter mappings
@split grail check this out [[sitelen_Kililisa]]
sitelen Kililisa is a tokiponized name for the Cyrillic alphabet, particularly as used to write Toki Pona. According to the 2022 Toki Pona census, it is the fourth most commonly used writing system for Toki Pona, after sitelen Lasina, sitelen pona, and sitelen sitelen.
huh?
who uses it like that..?
I've seen people on #luka-pona and also Kekan use 'mu luka'
did some minor edits around the connectivity of navboxes
TIL there was a page on transfems on the toki pona wikipedia in 2004
they are everywhere <3
i can't 100% prove it was on tokipona.wikipedia.org but its in the edit history on fandom
which i believe is directly imported
Logo of lipu Wikipesija, written in sitelen sitelen and small-caps sitelen Lasina, with slogan lipu sona pi jan ale
lipu Wikipesija is an unofficial Toki Pona-language edition of Wikipedia. As of November 2023, it contains over 1900+ pages, of which 150 are dictionary pages written in toki pona taso. It also used to host 2 informational pages wr...
there are the archives

do you have dates
i tried searching some but ran out of energy

what is the opposite of deprecated

THAT
we're also missing https://sona-suli.pona.la/wiki/lipu_open this wiki
which... exists technically but is empty
jan Tepo might close it but that's also effort
@split grail thoughts on having {{General}} on the main page of sona pona?

cons: visually perhaps a bit too complicated
yeah no
this iswhat

@upbeat summit what do you think about it
it's doable and most of the work could be left to a subtemplate or regex
but it seems a bit SP-centric

wondering if we should think of a more robust toggle system for that

Hopefully things have stabilized
Also made our first VisualEditor edit
because i noticed i made a mistake on a gargantuan table and said fuck that i'm not fixing it in source
[[sitelen Kansi]] knowers please sanity-check my work since i can't recognize the characters at a glance or anything
sitelen Kansi (tokiponized from Hanzi) is a term for adaptations of Toki Pona to written Chinese. Various writing systems fall under this category, generally choosing different Chinese characters for Toki Pona words.

@vague aspen since you published [[File:ku in linja enki.svg]], do you have a folder with all your glyphs :>
sadly i do not

i can try making but idk how to automate it
you don't need to, it is okie
it is better to upload files that are free directly to Commons btw
and that is what I'm doing rn
i don’t think people would need it elsewhere
still
it doesn't hurt to publish it more widely
I also have to add info about your font to [[Fonts]]
Many fonts have been created for Toki Pona and its original writing systems, with varying feature sets. For the purpose of this article, only SFNT fonts are considered (fonts that have a file that is installable on modern computers—such as TTF, OTF—or a file that can be embedded on a website—including WOFF, WOFF2).
thank you for creating this

by the way i’m currently working on changing the second item
wawa a
FONTFORGE WON’T LET ME ADD ALL SELECTED GLYPHS IN THE LOOKUP THING

question
if we want to link to a piece of code, that's really big (like for say a dictionary keyboard), where do we upload this info
- i assume the link is to a github repo
- don't we have like an "input methods" page or category or something
there's GitHub, true
what would be an appropiate image for [[moli]]
- no corpses
- no Grim Reaper
- cemiteries? (some are too Christian, and we're woke)
sure Wikipedia
is this clear
the template on the side is linking to [moli] while the small link is [nimi:moli]
show meat dishes or something lol
doesn't even have to be meat right
plants can be dead too
show me the bibliography
I don't think that is clear sgjlsdjsdf
people will see that and think food
a dying tree? that's all brown and stuff
omg..
taso aaa ni li pona ala pona
maybe the middle one that looks like bones
that plant is aLIVE and wELL what is it doing there
ok fair
this pic doesn't scream moli to me though
maybe if the skull was :3
ok., so
something may be wrong with Tepo and Lakuse's video
not entirely sure what

In sitelen pona, name glyphs are special glyphs which represent personal names instead of words. Unlike standard names in cartouches, many name glyphs do not indicate pronunciation.

Unfortunately i cannot seem to get audio from another repository to embed

I think that it's getting resolved actually?

the quick fix must have done something good because looksies

also did you see the font issues, can you help 
would you all like to write an essay about ChatGPT and toki pona learning
a fun little detail is that my friend has been able to translate from toki pona to English with chatGPT 4, but it's only reliable if she also writes the context that the statement was made in
o pana e ni tawa [[UCSUR]]
For people who use Arc Browser, here's a boost to see sitelen pona unicode in your browser: https://arc.net/boost/3E475CD3-9118-4DE0-9684-EDB2A9ECBC2F. It prefers nasin nanpa, sitelen seli kiwen, Fairfax HD, and insa pi supa lape in that order. See https://github.com/Id405/sitelen-pona-ucsur-guide for how to download those fonts.
The wha?
linja pona (literally "good line") is a uniform line weight sitelen pona typeface created by David A. Roberts and expanded on by jan Same
i think this is incorrect
David A. Roberts was only responsible for version 4
off the top of my head
I need to update the fonts by Lepeka on the website
but I can't
that's wrong yes
@split grail idea, dunno if its a good one or not
instead of having specific pages for groups of words (e.g. [[Animals]]), replace those with navboxes listing multiple related words
this could allow words to belong to multiple navigable categories, e.g.... heck idk
poka for a body part grouping and a relative directions grouping
truthfully most words have one clear category
"Part of a series on"–type sidebars, right
I figure since everything's gonna have the words navbox at the bottom already
Should the {{nimi}} infobox include [[nasin pi sitelen jelo]] and possibly other writing systems
nimi suli
nasin pi sitelen jelo (🛤️📎🎨🍋) or sitelen jelo is an emoji-based Toki Pona writing system created by waso Keli. It is a logography that builds on and tries to improve on sitelen pilin, its much more static predecessor.
Results of the second Toki Pona census, 1.5 years after the first one.
we might want writing systems either as a navbox or a group in a navbox
this is true
but different
Is there a standard tokiponized name for the Hebrew alphabet
sitelen Iwisi?
Ive seen Iwisi a bunch
[[Template:Writing systems]]
…can we talk about the footer navbox situation on some of these articles
I think we should only have the most specific one
and maybe if they're in a hierarchy like this, we could do
sitelen pona
⬑ Writing systems
Alternatively we could have the two most specific ones, but put the more specific one on top

digging around reminds me of this really cool way of semantically ordering the words

with mutually exclusive categories! there's very few attempts at that

catching up with sona pona edits, this is cool to see
im not 100% happy with "natlang transliterations" (since this is about writing systems not languages, and about adapting for toki pona not transliterating) but honestly i can't think of a good name for this myself
re: sitelen Kana, @upbeat summit would you consider renaming sitelen Ilakana and sitelen Katakana -> sitelen Kana? since this is already your preference in the navbox
both other names should become redirects then ofc
maybe, i just don't know if that name is common in practice and i want to avoid making stuff up for the actual article titles
thats a fair concern. ive not seen any of the three names in use so i can't judge
Toki Pona census also uses some different tokiponized names than we have, which, eek
ma pona la,
sitelen Kana 39
sitelen Ilakana 37
sitelen Katakana 87
not really conclusive
Hmm so should we split all the uncommon "Related words" subsections off into their own articles
@upbeat summit i just saw this chart
i love the information, ive got an alternate idea for layout though
what do you think
pros: it avoids the awkward "Obsolete: / Main:" labeling necessitated by the current layout
cons: the glyphs are now further apart, which may make them harder to compare
i would also suggest ordering by Linku categories or book presence but eh
one sec, imma offer another layout
@upbeat summit
Ah maybe
pros: fewer columns, you can present more than just pu Epelanto
cons: for most words, the main and alternate are a pair, and presenting them vertically rather than horizontally is more awkward
[toki] [sitelen] [nimi] [sitelen] [toki]
The term "artificial intelligence", while broad in meaning, is often used to mean chatbots powered by large language models. As they were trained on data from the internet, they're often aware of Toki Pona and may even try to produce it when prompted.
Other forms of artificial intelligence relevant to Toki Pona might not "speak" the language, bu...
mi open taso
woooo
I don't think that that is AI
something btw, we should fill out [[Software]]
ona li kepeken ilo [Teachable Machine] pi nasin [neural network]
ahh
it is machine learning which is "AI" but not LLM related which many people think is AI
tbh the entire ecosystem of machine learning tools is a clusterfuck of marketing spin and incoherent jargon
nn ken la mi kulupu pi wawa ike e ijo
I feel like that page doesn't need to exist
we could just list translation tools under the Tools page
and have a note there about chatgpt
the main value we gain by having these things there is that we can attach a warning saying "these tools are a bad idea to use for anyone not already fluent"
I think it should
like for people to point and read that hey ChatGPT doesn't speak toki pona
what if we went further
yeah it feels like an afterthought
"here's a list of AI tools you can use for toki pona (they aren't great but go use them)"
yeah
lonnn
so we can write (and also cite others) on the why
maybe change the 'nasin pi sitelen jelo' to include other emoji implementations?
