Hoi, How many original Wikivoyage projects exist that have not been automagically exported exist ?? With Portuguese as the example, it would make sense to have it started in its own wiki. The language committee has made an exception for existing projects. The Portuguese project exists and as such it can start there is nothing about what has been technically possible to export/import in this.
The only thing we expect is a previously existing project. It will be nice to have a list of languages that fit this bill. Thanks, Gerard

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.
