I don't understand...

This clause is for constructed language
First you have to read the links of the draft to understand the reason of the clause
Anyone is able to create a constructed language. all possible (infinite) conlangs should
have its own Wiki? no. how to avoid unuseful conlang. for its current uses. those with
incompatible uses with wikimedia goals are banned.
The phrasis "to have literary pieces written previously by people other than the
creator of the language", prevent languages that are only supported by its author, if
no additional people write in the language, that would convert it in a personal language.
Engineered languages (specially logical languages) have an important goal, its mission is
clarify scientific language. reduce ambiguity. the searching of accuracy is compatible.
Conlang like Esperanto, Interlingua, etc pretends to be international auxiliary
languages, its potential international use is the reason why they can have its own wiki.
Artistic languages, are only used for the entertaiment. it is included Joke languages,
fictional languages, etc. Wikimedia is not a place for them. they are banned.
c.m.l.

Can someone clarify the phrase "this must be used at present as
Engineered language or pretend to be used as international auxiliary
one, additionally to have literary pieces written previously by people
other than the creator of the language. They are excluded those which
are only used at present with artistic purposes."
That doesn't parse for me.
