I am thinking about a bigger change to Transwiki / Special:Import.
Status quo:
Every import source has to be defined in $wgImportSources for every
project separatly and additions have to be requested by a shell bug.
This structure makes it impossible to transwiki from every project into
every project.
My proposal:
Removal of the drop down box from Special:Import and add normal input
fields for projectname/abbreviation and language code.
To validate the values compare with the interwiki table && iw_local=1
Questions:
1. Are there any points why such a transwiki (from all into all) would
be bad?
2. Can I rely on the interwiki table? Or do we have another source of
trustful import sources?
