I could see this being useful for transwiki'ing pages from Wikipedia to Wiktionary or Wikisource. What do you think? We can get push-button transwiki'ing enabled for the Vietnamese Wikipedia. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Interwiki/transwiki imports mostly working now Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 15:51:31 -0700 From: Brion Vibber <brion-e+AXbWqSrlAAvxtiuMwx3w(a)public.gmane.org> Reply-To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l-AeOJrEpdGNeGglJvpFV4uA(a)public.gmane.org> Newsgroups: gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical 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. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) -- Minh Nguyen <mxn(a)zoomtown.com> AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: mxn(a)myjabber.net; Blog: http://mxn.f2o.org/
