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 de:Max Ophüls Preis to User:Runningislife/Max_Ophüls_Preis

• Language: de:Max Ophüls Preis
• New name: User:Runningislife/Max_Ophüls_Preis
• Note: --Runningislife (talk) 14:02, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator:  Done @Runningislife: I imported it from "Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis" to User:Runningislife/Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis, because that's probably what you wanted, not the redirect. This import wasn't so easy; it's the biggest XML file I've ever dealt with (16MB). Despite what the revision history says, all the edits did appear to import correctly. Graham87 15:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

  Oh wow! Thanks a lot and sorry for the redirect, still learning a lot about the wiki functions... Runningislife (talk) 17:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Import of de:Aufzugswerke Schmitt + Sohn to Draft:Schmitt + Sohn Elevators

• Language: de:Aufzugswerke Schmitt + Sohn
• New name: Draft:Schmitt + Sohn Elevators
• Note: user was asking at German Wikipedia doing the import job. We transmit the request here. The enwiki draft version is a full translation. Thank you ... – Doc Taxon • Talk • 16:17, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator:  Done Graham87 00:59, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Import of commons:File:TSL Front Page.png to File:TSL Front Page.png

• Language: commons:File:TSL Front Page.png
• New name: :File:TSL Front Page.png
• Note: Newspaper cover acceptable under fair use (see {{Non-free newspaper image}}) but not properly licensed for Commons. Please import it to here, then I will nominate for deletion there. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator: @Sdkb:Not done; these imports aren't needed (and are rather unusual logistically), as per previous discussions here, most notably this one. Graham87 03:14, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

  Okay, I just reuploaded it given that. Thanks for the explanation! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:40, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Import of de:Atelier Brückner to User:Heudorf/Atelier Brückner

• Language: de:Atelier Brückner
• New name: User:Heudorf/Atelier Brückner
• Note: --Heudorf (talk) 10:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator:  Done Graham87 14:58, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Import of de:Dieter Thomas Kuhn to Dieter Thomas Kuhn

• Language: de:Dieter Thomas Kuhn
• New name: Dieter Thomas Kuhn
• Note: --2A00:23C5:ED99:A01:81CA:6EE9:AD97:3E2 (talk) 12:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator: Not done; we can't import a non-English article straight into the main namespace. It would be easier to fulfil your request if you made it using an established user account; it would be muh better if you didn't have a conflict of interest. Graham87 14:24, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Import of de:Christin_Neddens to Klaviermusikfan1972/Christin Neddens english

• Language: de:Christin_Neddens
• New name: Klaviermusikfan1972/Christin Neddens english
• Note: --Klaviermusikfan1972 (talk) 09:54, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator: I'm not letting this one through without a request from an established user. I'm very concerned that you might have some sort of conflict of interest regarding this drummer and the German Wikipedia article was created by the subject herself, a big no-no here.
