Requests for page importation
Shortcuts WP:IMP WP:RFPI 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.

• Note by importing administrator: @Aschiller1211: Not done; I can't import a non-English article directly into the main namespace. If you will allow me to import it into your userspace, I can do that and then you can go from there. Or you can write the translation first if you like. Graham87 16:33, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: I would like to enter the English translation from Regio Basiliensis into the English Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Regio Basiliensis IKRB (talk • contribs) 12:27, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Note by importing administrator: @Regio Basiliensis IKRB: Not done; I assume you mean de:Regio Basiliensis. We can't import a non-English article into the main namespace. Please submit the translation to articles for creation. Also, your username clearly indicates that you have a conflict of interest; keep in mind that the English Wikipedia's guidelines for that sort of thing differ a lot from those of the English Wikipedia. Graham87 14:14, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please put the German article Regio Basiliensis into a draft in the English Wikipedia so that I can translate everything? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Regio Basiliensis IKRB (talk • contribs) 14:13, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Regio Basiliensis IKRB: Done, at Draft:Regio Basiliensis. Graham87 01:53, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: For some reason I can't move the article by myself so it would be nice if it could be moved into the namespace by someone else. Thanks in advance! --MarieWeg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarieWeg. (talk • contribs) 21:28, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Note by importing administrator:  Not done @MarieWeg.: we would not use the import process for this. Good news: if you make 2 more edits of any kind, you will be able to move pages. You should re-review that page first, for example it has untranslated foreign categories on it that should be resolved first. If you want to request someone else to move the page for you though, you may post at Wikipedia:Requested moves. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:56, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
