Hoi, I have read the WP:NOT on the English Wikipedia and I fail to see how it might apply. A Wikipedia in any language is there to provide information. This is no different for a Wikipedia in a constructed language. The provisions of this policy can be applied without any need for change.
I don't think it's on WP:NOT, but that's more because noone has tried to get material into Wikipedia for this reason. A Wikipedia is there to provide information, yes. But a Wikipedia article is there to provide information ON THE SUBJECT OF THE PAGE. NOT to provide information ON THE LANGUAGE IT IS WRITTEN IN.
One of the applications for using Wikipedia is reading in the language that you are learning. This is a valid use and it is as valid for constructed languages. People who construct a language typically state that everything can be expressed by it. The only way of proving this is by expressing about everything hence an encyclopaedic approach makes sense to them as it is the only way they can prove people that deny their ability to do so.
Wikipedia is not an area for proving points about a language you constructed. It is an area for providing information on subjects.
