It would be a nice feature, but I think allowing non-admins to use it would be a Bad Idea as lots of bad content would be imported inappropriately.
That sounds like an excellent argument against wikis in general.
As an admin on a wiki affected in this way, I have to say that that feature would not be useful. This is what the Transwiki: namespace is for. Import by default to that namespace, and move to the new location; this leaves a redirect behind, which is almost always a good thing, since links on other projects will usually point to the Transwiki: page, and finding all links on all projects is really not that much fun.
Why would links on other projects even exist, let alone point to the Transwiki page?
