Soo... We need to restart de pt.wikivoyage.org? One of the biggest projects?????? This is true?? 2000 articles, importing by hand???
Hi Rodrigo,
we were only able to import languages from Wikivoyage where dumps were prepared and pre-processed by the Wikivoyage-folks (who are, BTW, all volunteers and have done amazing work on this). So all the languages from wikivoyage-old.org were imported. We can't support additional case-by-case dump imports and pre-processing because the process is pretty complex and error-prone. Additional near-term tech effort we spend on Wikivoyage will be focused on fixing remaining site issues, of which there are quite a few.
So yeah, articles would have to be manually copied and attributed via template. :( But perhaps LangCom would make an exception to quickly approve blank wikis for languages where it seems likely that there's a viable community, so at least the incubator step could be skipped.
