The Klingon Wiktionary has the same objective, and is free to all (but not
quite a free-for-all).

As I'm building this new dictionary, it occurs to me that while the
definitions Okrand gives us has certain features built in that might
be useful for finding words (like "slang" and "capable of using
language" and "regional"), it might help me find words if I further
categorize them.
So far, my categories are:
animals
art
body function
clothing
color
curse word/insults
device
emotion
food
house/structure
job
landscape
material
math/measurement
military
motion
music
politics
positional/prepositional
regional
rank
ship
speech
symbol
time
Trek
vegetation
weapon
Each of these are check boxes, so a single word can have multiple
categories, like {HoD} is both "rank" and "military", while {muchwI'}
is both "job" and "music".
Finding words has always been a problem for me. I'm hoping this will
help, and perhaps sharing the idea with you may help others as well.
