Importing and import uploading

[edit source]

To preserve edit histories and observe the attribution requirements of the licenses, content from our sister projects should be imported rather than simply pasted into a new module.

  • Importers can import pages from any of the English-language projects, Simple English Wikibooks, Meta, and Wikispecies.
  • Administrators, and import uploaders, can import from any wiki (even non-WMF).

Requests to import can be made to help in making or expanding a book, and to move works from other projects that fit Wikibooks' scope.

  • Place requests below and an administrator or importer will try to perform the import promptly.
  • Note that administrators and importers are not responsible for moving and cleaning up pages. Please watch this page for when the import is complete and take care of the imported page.

Administrators and importers:

  • Please read Help:Importing first.
  • To import a page, go to Special:Import.
  • Pages will by default import into Transwiki:Page's name, which can be moved to a new location.
  • After import, add {{dewikify}} to the page and make a note where the imported page has ended up.
  • Pages with extremely long edit histories may fail to import. In this case, a single revision which gives attribution to the source wiki will be imported. While this isn't ideal, it should satisfy our licensing. Note that repeated attempts to import may eventually bring over the history, so if it fails on the first attempt, you might want to try it a few more times. Please see T17000, and ask for it to be resolved sooner.

Non-free media uploading

[edit source]

Where non-free media is required in a book, editors may request an administrator or uploader to upload the file by making a request at files for upload.

Import and Merge

[edit source]

Use this section for imports that need to be "history-merged" with a module that has already been started using copy-paste.

Currently, clicking on the (create) links provided by {{documentation}} attempts to preload these templates into the wikitext editor, but doesn't. I'd like them to be imported. — JJPMaster (discusscontribs) 00:25, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discusscontribs) 01:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Kittycataclysm, oh, sorry for not noticing this, but w:Template:Preload notice and w:Module:Example are redlinked here but linked to in those templates on enwiki, so I think those will need to be imported too. — JJPMaster (she/they) 01:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@JJPMaster anything else missing? —Kittycataclysm (discusscontribs) 01:20, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nope, that should be good. Thank you! JJPMaster (she/they) 01:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
