Page importation
This is a place to request that pages be imported with history of pages from other Wikimedia Foundation wikis to here. This might be done if a page was copied and pasted from a WMF wiki to here, or, in the case of the Nostalgia Wikipedia, to make very old revisions accessible. Administrators can import pages from Meta, the Outreach Wiki, the Test2 Wikipedia site, and the German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Nostalgia Wikipedias to the English Wikipedia (see bug 20280 for relevant shell permission requests, and to request permissions for importing from more projects). It is also possible to indirectly import from Commons, Foundation-wiki, and the Czech-wiki (by first importing to Meta) and to import from En-wikibooks (via Commons). More languages (Danish, Dutch, Greek, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, Turkish, Ukranian, Hungarian, Chinese) are possible through another indirect import to the German Wikipedia. With the "importupload" feature, pages from all other wikis can be imported too. Guidelines for admins
Check the history of the source page before importing. If there are overlapping edits between the source and destination page, import the edits into the MediaWiki talk namespace, since it is very rarely used. Follow this procedure, where "foo" is the title of the page in the English Wikipedia and "bar" is the title of the source page:
The same procedure can be used when there are no overlapping edits, but in this case, it's best to move the page first, so the import appears in the page history. Check the newly imported history for unregistered account names, which will not have a "contribs" link attached to them. Try to create those accounts to prevent impersonation. If you can't create a particular account due to unified login, it can't be impersonated so it's not a problem. See User:Graham87/Import for guidelines on importing from the Nostalgia Wikipedia. There is a log of all page imports at Special:Log/import. |

Import of de:Kfz-Kennzeichen (Chile) to Vehicle registration plates of Chile
- Language: de:Kfz-Kennzeichen (Chile)
- New name: Vehicle registration plates of Chile
- Note: Please import the page, if possible. Vehicle registration plates of Chile already exists, it's a stub and I'd like to translate it from the german version to upgrade the english article with those informations. Thanks! --Plasmarelais (talk) 13:18, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Done Imported to User:Plasmarelais/Vehicle registration plates of Chile where you can work on the translation first. — xaosflux Talk 14:17, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: I was about to reject that request because of the overlapping history, but you beat me to it. The userspace import was harmless, but Plasmarelais, please do not attempt to get that page history moved to the main namespace. The already-existing history at Vehicle registration plates of Chile needs to be preserved. When you're finished with the translation, just paste it into the article and note that it came from the German Wikipedia in your edit summary. Graham87 14:22, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Agree, I left Plasmarelais a note on dewiki that is has to be translated before anything else as well. Another possible option would be to delete/replace the enwiki article (but would need to go through an XFD discussion). — xaosflux Talk 15:07, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you both for your help. Very good solution. I'll translate first, then we'll see how to proceed. --Plasmarelais (talk) 22:44, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Import of en:United States presidential election in Washington (state), 2012 to Washington Republican caucuses, 2012
- Language: en:United States presidential election in Washington (state), 2012
- New name: Washington Republican caucuses, 2012
- Note: Please split all versions ahead of the page rename back to Washington Republican caucuses, 2012. The article was repurposed without apparent prior discussion and needs to be reinstated as a standalone article to ensure consistency between the election years. More to come, unfortunately. Thanks ahead, PanchoS (talk) 21:11, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- Note by importing administrator:
Not done PanchoS the import process is for copying pages between different wiki projects, you can list at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers for your un-merge request. — xaosflux Talk 22:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: I'm sorry. I was used to it from the German Wikipedia where there is only this process for both tasks. Regards, PanchoS (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Done to User:Phzh/Denner. — xaosflux Talk 01:57, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I would've done that, because we already have an article in English at Denner (supermarkets). Graham87 02:50, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- The dewiki version is certainly more substantive in overall size, and this was to userspace, so I've got no objection to where the editor wants to sandbox a possible entire article replacement. Of course it may lead to the eventual how to "best" maintain all attributions discussion. — xaosflux Talk 03:08, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
