Requests for page importation
Shortcuts

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:Goethe-Wörterbuch to Hersilie13/Goethe-Wörterbuch[edit]


Import of de:Patrik Pietschmann to User:Patrik Pietschmann[edit]

  • Language: de:Patrik Pietschmann
  • New name: User:Patrik Pietschmann
  • Note: translation request --M10376554 (talk) 12:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Note by importing administrator: Not done; most of your few edits on the German Wikipedia are on that article, leading me to believe that you have a conflict of interest regarding this artist. This request is also malformed and that doesn't inspire confidence either. Graham87 (talk) 16:24, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I really appreciate your care. I will (how everyone here) make Wikipedia better. And I thought translating the page „Patrik Pietschmann“ into English would be a good way to do that. There is no conflict of interest or anything like that on my part. M10376554 (talk) 11:53, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @M10376554: How do you know of him? Do you know him personally and if so, in what capacity (e.g. friend, employer, etc.)? Graham87 (talk) 14:56, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I became aware of him through playing some of his arrangements on the piano. Due to my interest in music, I have decided to write about him on Wikipedia. No, I don't know him personally. M10376554 (talk) 10:25, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @M10376554: OK, that's good enough. I've made the import to User:M10376554/Patrik Pietschmann. Graham87 (talk) 15:15, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Import of de:Suzanne_Levesque to User:Kirk power/Suzanne_Levesque_en[edit]

  • Language: de:Suzanne_Levesque
  • New name: User:Kirk power/Suzanne_Levesque_en
  • Note: English version still missing, I would like to help and translate it from German into English. Thank you for your support! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirk power (talk • contribs) 13:29, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Note by importing administrator: Not done; you do not have enough experience on any wiki to write a Wikipedia article; the fact that you failed to sign your message here demonstrates this quite nicely. On the German Wikipedia you have basically been acting as a single-purpose account that only edits her article; that along with a bit of Googling based on your edit summaries in the German Wikipedia strongly implies that you have a conflict of interest/close connection regarding this person. Co-authoring books with her certainly counts as a conflict of interest. Graham87 (talk) 14:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Hi Graham, thank you for your message! You're correct, I'm actually not very experienced on Wikipedia yet and I've seen how much you've already contributed to this platform - so a big thank you for that. Can you tell me which book you believe I co-authored with Suzanne Levesque? I'm actually just an art enthusiast and would be quite thrilled if that were the case :) Thank you and have a nice day! PS: I'm still happy to carry on with the translation if you allow me to do so. Kirk power (talk) 19:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Sorry, I thought from your edit summaries on the German Wikipedia that you were Ralf Busch ... but a cursory translation of them should have laid that idea to rest! Due to your inexperience, I still don't want to import the revisions; it's not mandatory (as discussed below); see the English Wikipedia's guideline on the matter). You can go through the Articles for creation process; for more personalised help with it, see the teahouse. Graham87 (talk) 06:24, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Import of de:From Fall to Spring to From Fall to Spring[edit]


Import of de:Single Pair Ethernet: to en:Single Pair Ethernet[edit]

The part in article Ethernet over twisted pair#Single-pair is just a short summary without IEC 63171 part like in my german article about SPE. Thanks BR Ralf. Ralf Moses (talk) 11:34, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Note by importing administrator:  Done to Draft:Single Pair Ethernet. Importation is not mandatory here; edit summary attribution in the first edit linking to the original German version of the article would have sufficed; see the relevant English Wikipedia guideline. Graham87 (talk) 15:29, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Thanks Graham. Sorry for delay, I am ill.
    It is my first time regarding translation of an Wikipedia article.
    I have inserted this template below (plus {{ }}) in the headline of article Draft:Single Pair Ethernet.
    translated page|de|Single Pair Ethernet| version=240874606|insertversion=1194350781
    If it´s not ringht, can you help me with correct numbers of version and insertversion please and position of template!
    Thanks for your support. BR Ralf. Ralf Moses (talk) 09:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Ralf Moses: Thanks, but that's not needed here because the edits have already been imported. It is a good idea for next time though ... an it should be placed on the talk page. Graham87 (talk) 15:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
