Although (like the others below suggest), the Tokipona wikis probably aren't going to be re-opened, you can still contribute to the Tokipona Wikia: http://tokipona.wikia.com/wiki/lipu_lawa.

As I wrote about yesterday on the WikiEN-l, is it really necessary to have languages that are not primary languages of at least a decent sized group of people. Toki Pona is a contructed language that isn't going to enable more to people to edit or read Wikipedia.
I agree with this. New language projects should be created as a way to faciliate the sharing of information. Small constructed languages represent little more then code or encryption, and those by definition are barriers to communications. It would be different if, for some people, Toki Pona was their natural, primary, or only spoken language. In that case, toki pona would be the only method of communication for this hypothetical group of people, and creating a project for them would help to facilitate the sharing of information.
I see no benefit in creating a project which only a small group of people edit and nobody outside that group can read.
