{{Needs work|
*Archive and expand bare and shortened(!?) links into [[Project:Citing sources|proper references]] using [[:Category:Citation templates|citation templates]].
----
This article is <strong>not amenable to reading or editing due to its scope</strong>.
*Check priorities. Many events may not be considered significant enough to belong here, or may be more relevant to English-speaking communities than to Toki Pona itself, and should be moved to other articles. (See [[Wikipedia]] for an example.)
*Consensus appears to be to move from a fully chronological list of events, to summary-based prose. Collate the remaining spread-out, redundant play-by-plays into paragraphs at the first mention. Copyedit to remove redundant wording. Move full details to designated articles (again, see [[Wikipedia]]). Try to pare back to only the start date, inciting event, and outcome.
----
It has also been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles and replaced with a summary (perhaps like a more involved {{sect|Toki Pona#History}}) afterwards. The exact course of action is [[Talk:History#Overhaul, including possible split|under discussion]].
