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:

1. Import "bar". When asked for the namespace, select "MediaWiki talk".
2. Move "foo" to "MediaWiki talk:bar". When asked whether you want to delete the page, answer yes.
3. 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.
4. 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 de:Modul:TemplateData to Module:TemplateData

• Language: de:Modul:TemplateData
• New name: Module:TemplateData
• Note: Recommended at WP:VP/T#Could_the_empty_fields_be_hidden_in_templatedata_tables?; it allows TemplateData to be displayed in a readable manner with some formatting and less unneeded content. This means that for many templates TemplateData can replace part of the conventional documentation, reducing the amount of repetition on doc pages. User:GKFX^talk 01:10, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

(2) Ask us to import the page to your sandbox, then you can translate it and move it to an article later. Let me know what you need. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:01, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

The test is translated? I don't know, what i did wrong. I have translated the text and posted it as an article. House Lemke- here is it. I entered at the first edit that this is a translation and added this info also on the discussion-site to the article. May i ask a favour? I saw that people in the english wikipedia put the house after the name, which would mean that the article better was named Lemke House instead of House Lemke - would it be possible that you rename it? I'm sorry that i'm causing so much inconvenience for you, i tried to get help at the helpdesk, but noone was answering. Sorry. --Gyanda (talk) 11:58, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

I was told that the issue-history of the article in the german wikipedia would be added to the now-existing article in the english wikipedia by this Request for page importation and that thus i would accomplish the rightholderissues. If that is wrong, i'm sorry. --Gyanda (talk) 12:02, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
