tpi.wikipedia.org - Tok Pisin One of the official languages of Papua New Guinea. Some pages should be moved from temporary work at bi.wikipedia.org over here.
io.wikipedia.org - Ido Ido is a cousin of Esperanto, rarely seen but of some historical interest.
tp.wikipedia.org - Toki Pona Toki Pona is a more recent conlang, but with a relatively active and enthusiastic user base. ('tp' is not assigned as a 2-letter code, and ISO isn't assigning any more 2-letter codes. Rather than fight about what to call it, I figured 'tp' will do.)

This is not the right approach; if there is no code assigned and if it is an artificial language, use "art-" as a prefix:
art-toki-pona.wikipedia.org

Far too long.

Then go for art-tp.wikipedia.org, but that's cryptic and tp.wikipedia.org is simply misleading and sooner or later 'tp' will become an official ISO-639 language code. These two-letter codes are precious.
Better use a long name now for a fun project than asking for trouble in the future.
"art-" is a official recommendation. In the TP http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/ we have "art-lojban".

To quote Brion: 'tp' is not assigned as a 2-letter code, and ISO isn't assigning any more 2-letter codes. Rather than fight about what to call it, I figured 'tp' will do. -.-.-.-
Which I remember stated in a document too. Maybe what's suggested in the RFC (1766 and 3066 if I recall the numbers correctly), we should use the x primary subtag, and name it x-tp to avoid trouble (such as them getting a 3-letter code). Same goes for Lojban and Ido and Klingon which don't seem to have codes yet either.

Shame those sources found by Google don't have like half of the codes. Klingon and Ido and Lojban (why jbo?!) definitely have their 3-letter codes.
Sorry.

"jbo" is the rafsi of "lojbo", the brivla (syntactically a verb, but also used as an adjective - there are no adjectives or adverbs in Lojban, and brivla are also used for common nouns) meaning "Lojban". Examples: jboru'u - the Lojban monetary unit, distinct from ronru'u (Euro), meryru'u (American dollar), etc. jbofi'e - "Lojban fish", name (by analogy with "Babelfish") of a program for parsing and translating Lojban text.

Lojban has the code "jbo".

I thought 'x-' was the recommended prefix. 'x-toki-pona'.
On this subject: isn't the toki pona Wikipedia just going to have, like, 12 articles? It's a minimal conlang language that explicitly renounces talking or writing about complicated, technological, or other 'bad' subjects.
