Wikipedia Portals and Contents

[Linux in a Bit]

Is there a reason the Wikipedia dictionaries do not contain Portals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal) or browse-able Contents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents)?
I feel like this is a pretty important feature of Wikipedia that is just missing from the Aard archives.

It appears as though pretty much all of the "Wikipedia:" pages are missing, and so are many category listings on pages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Categories)

It would be really nice to be able to use them in Aard 2.

They are not missing - just not included (with some exceptions - I think some wiktionaries put essential info like conjugation tables into separate namespaces and those were identified and included at some point per this discussion).   https://github.com/itkach/mw2slob explains how to include namespaces other than Main/Article. This requires additional effort and since most auxiliary namespaces are of limited interest is usually not done.

Ah, ok. That's unfortunate.
