Requests for 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, Commons, the Outreach Wiki, the Test2 Wikipedia site, and the German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Nostalgia Wikipedias to the English Wikipedia (see Phabricator task 22280 for relevant shell permission requests, and to request permissions for importing from more projects). It is also possible to indirectly perform a transwiki import from other projects by using step-wise process through a third project that has a project mapping already created, although using the export/import process may be simpler. 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: Import "bar". When asked for the namespace, select "MediaWiki talk". Move "foo" to "MediaWiki talk:bar". When asked whether you want to delete the page, answer yes. From the "move succeeded" window, there is a link to the page history at "MediaWiki talk:bar". Activate it, perhaps in another tab or window, and there will be some text in the form "View or restore xxx deleted edits?". Activate the link associated with that text and undelete the imported edits that you need. The remaining edits will stay safely deleted in the MediaWiki talk namespace. Revert the move you made in step two. Uncheck the box that says "Leave a redirect behind", since redirects from the MediaWiki talk namespace are useless. If you want, you can use the "revert" link in the "move succeeded" window. The page move should go without a hitch. 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. In general, do not use the "assign edits to local users where the named user exists locally", leaving this off will indicate in the history the project the edits came from and you won't have to worry about non-created accounts here. 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:Denner to Benutzer:Phzh/Denner

• Language: de:Denner

  • 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)

Thanks a lot. I think i have one last question: I´ve updatet the reference 1. in the article Gas_Connect_Austria to an english source. But at the bottom of the page there is still the evidence "(in German"). how can i change this? thank you so much for the support. Ikp WIen (talk) 09:19, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

@Ikp WIen: I've fixed this by using the {{cite web}} template instead of its German equivalent. Graham87 12:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
