Since last month,[1] action=import would ignore the rootpage parameter when
the namespace parameter was specified, due to underlying changes in
MediaWiki to make Special:Import clearer. Starting with 1.26wmf7,[2][3] it
will instead give an error if both parameters are specified to avoid
incorrect importing by code expecting the old behavior.
