The easier way to get new a language Wikipedia, is to
have an ISO 639 code for your language:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639

You can check yourself how many (or few) conlangs got an ISO code.

It's not impossible to get a Wikipedia without the 
ISO 639 code, but in that case, be prepared for a rather messy,
uphill battle. 

(If you are willing to do your own hosting and administraion,
you can have your own Wikipedia-like project at any time,
as the entire software needed is freely available)

BTW, as far as my research has shown, there is one other
Wikipedia, having a (minimal) Ceqli article, Interlingua Wikipedia:
http://ia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceqli

I just discovered that I can read Interlingua, but I stepped
back from trying to write, or otherwise I would have added the
en version information to the ia version.
