I've patched up some old problems with Special:Import and Special:Export:

* Import updates categories etc * Imports are logged and reviewable in Special:Log/import * Imported pages also get a null edit in the history indicating the import and its source * Export is fixed up to allow fetching history for shorter pages, while still aborting to avoid bogging down the servers on longer pages (currently set to a cutoff of 100 edits) * Transwiki import allows selecting the import-with-history

Wikis wishing transwiki import capability should let us know which wikis they want to be able to import directly from (for instance, from a wikipedia -> wiktionary) and we can enable it.

Please pass this notice on to wikis where it will be of interest.
