I would suggest
to rename on WMF cluster the ptwikimedia DB to something like
ptwikimedia_old
If you want this, I hope the users will have the patience to wait for
when the renaming wikis bug will be solved in 2034.
Or, you know, we can create *now* a new wiki with a new name that most
users will not notice (it will not affect the domain name,
pt.wikimedia.org).

Assuming there's no easy way to merge the

dropping the old db. I believe most content was imported to the current
wiki at the time of the migration, see
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25537. An xml dump was used, not an SQL
one, so I suppose stuff like logs may not have been preserved, but in any
case it's not critical that we preserve all that historical info. I mean,
it would certainly be nice, but we can live without it.
Or we could use the pt2wikimedia, as that would allow future archeologists
to recover the data from the beginning of the wiki :) Either option is fine.
Hello,
The ptwikimedia database being from 2012, I don't think there is much
point in attempting to upgrade its schema, much less attempting to merge
in the external db in.
Given most of the useful data/history has been exported, I would suggest
to rename on WMF cluster the ptwikimedia DB to something like
ptwikimedia_old or even just archive a dump of it and drop it.
Then create a new ptwikimedia and import the external db there.
I am an idealist, but I am afraid introducing a scheme like
<lang>2<project type> is asking for various exceptions to be added in
various code and will cause a nasty technical debt down the road.
