I'm saying that Lieven's intuitive feeling about what Klingonists agree on should not be taken as a mandate. mayqel cited that page as if it is authoritative, or at least asking why he should do what it advises.

I stand corrected. Someone else wrote about their intuitive feeling, and you copied it.
"intuitive feeling" is a word I copied from your message. See above.
The FAQ copied onto your wiki simply says we can use punctuation. It then links to another page that was not part of the FAQ.
Yes, true. It links to a page that was /taken from/ the FAQ and then moved to the other page for better readability. I will add that quote to make you understand that better.
And given that anyone can edit your wiki, it can't possibly be considered authoritative for this list. And if it is, I'm going to start
editing it with some truly ridiculous ideas, just to mess with everyone,
and they'll have to be considered the rules of the list.
That's like saying one should not read Wikipedia because everyone can edit it. You really enjoy twisting my words in my mouth. The intention of an open source encyclopedia is that experienced people can work on it and make corrections and additions where necessary. Just like in Wikipedia, if any nonsense is added, there will be enough other people to correct it.
Whether Okrand has used punctuation is irrelevant. We were using punctuation in Klingon sentences long before Okrand ever did. This is not an argument about canon.
WUT? We were using the word {pemHov} long before Okrand suggested {jul}. We were using word incorrectly before Okrand clairifed them. How can Okrand's punctuation be irrelevant?
