Hi folks,
we did not import local files. These, like WTS and SHARED files, need to be vetted and uploaded either locally (under the non-free content policy) or to Commons. They should not be uploaded in bulk without review. My apologies for not having made this clear earlier.
I suggest that we ask the WikiVoyage e.V. folks to enable write access only to the File: namespace on the 1.19.1 wikis (En, Ru, Fr, Nl, Sv). This would allow these files to continue to be tagged. The namespace restriction would be enabled using this setting:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespaceProtection
Does this make sense?
Thanks, Erik

I suggest that we also keep access to categories, since we delete empty categories to improve the tagging.

Hi folks,
the old en, fr, nl, ru and sv wikis can be partially edited. Editions are possible in the file and categories namespaces. Please check it.
Yours Roland
