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.
