Requests for page importation
This is a place to request that pages be imported with history of pages from other Wikimedia Foundation wikis to here. This might be done if a page was copied and pasted from a WMF wiki to here, or, in the case of the Nostalgia Wikipedia, to make very old revisions accessible. Administrators can import pages from Meta, Commons, the Outreach Wiki, the Test2 Wikipedia site, and the German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Nostalgia Wikipedias to the English Wikipedia (see Phabricator task 22280 for relevant shell permission requests, and to request permissions for importing from more projects). It is also possible to indirectly perform a transwiki import from other projects by using step-wise process through a third project that has a project mapping already created, although using the export/import process may be simpler. Guidelines for admins Check the history of the source page before importing. If there are overlapping edits between the source and destination page, import the edits into the MediaWiki talk namespace, since it is very rarely used. Follow this procedure, where "foo" is the title of the page in the English Wikipedia and "bar" is the title of the source page: Import "bar". When asked for the namespace, select "MediaWiki talk". Move "foo" to "MediaWiki talk:bar". When asked whether you want to delete the page, answer yes. From the "move succeeded" window, there is a link to the page history at "MediaWiki talk:bar". Activate it, perhaps in another tab or window, and there will be some text in the form "View or restore xxx deleted edits?". Activate the link associated with that text and undelete the imported edits that you need. The remaining edits will stay safely deleted in the MediaWiki talk namespace. Revert the move you made in step two. Uncheck the box that says "Leave a redirect behind", since redirects from the MediaWiki talk namespace are useless. If you want, you can use the "revert" link in the "move succeeded" window. The page move should go without a hitch. The same procedure can be used when there are no overlapping edits, but in this case, it's best to move the page first, so the import appears in the page history. In general, do not use the "assign edits to local users where the named user exists locally", leaving this off will indicate in the history the project the edits came from and you won't have to worry about non-created accounts here. See User:Graham87/Import for guidelines on importing from the Nostalgia Wikipedia. There is a log of all page imports at Special:Log/import.

Import of ja:Katsushi Ikeuchi to Katsushi Ikeuchi

• Language: ja:Katsushi Ikeuchi
• New name: Katsushi Ikeuchi
• Note: This article was translated from ja:池内克史 but was wrongly posted on Japanese Wikipedia. Japanese editors reached a consensus to request importation (ja:Wikipedia:削除依頼/Katsushi Ikeuchi), and there seems to be 2 links to this page. It would be great if this page could be imported here. --YellowSmileyFace (talk) 05:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

   Done to Draft:Katsushi Ikeuchi. @YellowSmileyFace: (or possibly @もののふさんたろう:) should review that it is ready, then either move to article if you are sure, or submit to draft review. — xaosflux ^Talk 07:44, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! --YellowSmileyFace (talk) 11:18, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Import of de:Die_Verräter_–_Vertraue_Niemandem! to User:Jogo30/Die_Verräter_–_Vertraue_Niemandem!

• Language: de:Die_Verräter_–_Vertraue_Niemandem!
• New name: User:Jogo30/Die_Verräter_–_Vertraue_Niemandem!
• Note: I'd like to translate the article about the German version of the TV show The Traitors --Jogo30 (talk) 21:20, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Import of de:Spätzle to Swabian spaetzle

• Language: de:Spätzle
• New name: Swabian spaetzle
• Note: English page has started with the German text of 2017-06-27, 18:34 without importing the version history. --JogyB (talk) 07:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator:
• Not done; importing the version history isn't standard procedure and there's already a translated page note at Talk:Swabian spaetzle. I'm highly reluctant to do an import of many revisions like this when the article might be merged/redirected anyway. Graham87 (talk) 15:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Import of de:Hanatan to Hanatan

• Language: bn:চিত্র:জুবায়ের_আহমেদ_হত্যাকাণ্ড,_জুবায়েরের_ছবি.jpg
• New name: File:Jubayer's Photo.jpg
• Note: Import the image from bn Wikipedia to here.--C⚛smLearner ^💬🔬 22:20, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator: @CosmLearner: not done; apart from the fact that I don't deal with images much due to my blindness, the normal procedure would be reuploading, seeing as you didn't actually make the image. please reupload it here with an English non-free use rationale, etc. Graham87 (talk) 05:25, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

  Agree here. We wouldn't transwiki an image, as this file appears to only be available as fair-use, an appropriate use and fair-use declaration is necessary for English Wikipedia must also be attached. (Which also means that this is going to need to be appropriately added to an article immediately as well.) — xaosflux ^Talk 15:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
