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.

• Language: Zh:用戶:Eeexjian/Dinghuo town
• New name: Dinghuo town
• Note: This article Content is mostly translated from zh:丁伙鎮. (corresponding Chinese article of Dinghuo town) by User:Eeexjian. I moved the user:name page to avoid delete. Please refer user:Exxjian requested on talk page.

• Note by importing administrator: Not done; it is not ready for the main namespace (for a start, the category is incorrect). The user should re-create it at User:Eeexjian/Dinghuo town with an edit summary like the one described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects, then an import won't be needed. Also see Help:Translation. Graham87 (talk) 09:16, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Language: ja:Hakone Museum of Art
• New name: Hakone Museum of Art
• Note: Y.I0615 translated ja:箱根美術館 to English, but posted it on Japanese Wikipedia. There is a consensus to request importation at ja:Wikipedia:削除依頼/Hakone Museum of Art. --YellowSmileyFace (talk) 11:00, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Note by importing administrator: Not done; it's not ready for the main namespace and I do wonder how on earth Category:Coordinates on Wikidata got there. Please allow me to import it into either your userspace or draftspace. Graham87 (talk) 15:34, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The category thing is probably because of Content Translation. Anyways, it would be great if you could import it to my userspace in case anyone wants to improve the article. Thank you! --YellowSmileyFace (talk) 02:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  OK,  Done ... at User:YellowSmileyFace/Hakone Museum of Art. Graham87 (talk) 07:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Language: de:Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung
• New name: Leibniz Center for Literary and Cultural Research
• Note: Translation based on the German entry, the center is an internationally renowned institution that is relevant for literary and cultural studies beyond the German context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmzfl (talk • contribs) Dmzfl (UTC)
• Note by importing administrator: Not done; this is not an article translation/request service and the opinions of people with a conflict of interest, seemingly such as yourself, hold little weight here. We also don't import non-English pages straight into the article namespace. Graham87 (talk) 14:31, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Sorry, @Graham87, my wording was misleading: My request wasn't meant as a translation request, I would of course do a first draft of the translation myself. Also, I didn't have in mind an import into the article namespace–I'd be great if you could import it into my userspace though so that it can be worked on and improved there. Hope this makes my request a bit clearer and sorry for the confusion in the first place! Dmzfl (talk) 10:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Dmzfl: OK, fair enough. I've imported it to User:Dmzfl/Leibniz Center for Literary and Cultural Research. Graham87 (talk) 12:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Language: Hanse-Ensemble.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=history de:Europäisches Hanse-Ensemble:
• New name: European Hanseatic Ensemble
• Note: The "Europäisches Hanse-Ensemble" (engl. European Hanseatic Ensemble) is an early music project working with young musicians from all over Europe, many of whom don't understand German. This is why I would like to to do a first draft of translation into English.--BRehb (talk) 09:35, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Sorry, I think something went wrong concerning the new name: It would be great if you could import the German article into my userspace for translation. BRehb (talk) 09:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note by importing administrator: Not done; you don't have much experience on any Wikipedia and it seems like you have a conflict of interest about this topic. You created the German article so I don't think we really need an import here. Graham87 (talk) 15:54, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Language: de:Deutsche Gesellschaft für Musikpsychologie
• New name: German Society for Music Psychology
• Note: For better international visibility we want to translate the german version of the society into english. I am a member of the board and will take care of the new english version--Boarstone (talk) 12:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Note by importing administrator: Not done; as a member of the board, you have far too much of a conflict of interest to edit, let alone create or translate, such an article. Graham87 (talk) 14:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
