Subject: [Wikitech-l] Interwiki/transwiki imports mostly working now
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l at wikimedia.org>

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.
