Hello, On behalf of the board of the Swedish chapter (Wikimedia Sverige), we would like to enable Special:Import on se.wikimedia.org in order to import articles from sv.wikipedia.org. Regards, David Öhlin/Caesar
Added 'w:sv' to $wgImportSources for sewikimedia.
Thanks for fixing this, but it seems some problem is still linguering: We get the error message: Importen misslyckades: Misslyckades med att öppna importfilen. Whiche means: Import failed: Failure to open import-file /Micke
Ok, a little background... 1) The interwiki config is a little sloppy and is sending just 'w' to se.wikipedia.org, which is some other language, so I stuck 'w:sv' in ImportSources to get Swedish correctly. 2) But that goes via an HTTP redirection... 3) Which _may_ interfere with some behavior, as it will change from POST to GET and the intermediate redirect will lose the 'history=1' option :( 4) But more dangerously, it looks like Http::request() isn't following redirects! It just fails outright. This return check looks suspicious: # Don't return the text of error messages, return false on error if ( curl_getinfo( $c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE ) != 200 ) { $text = false; } should check whether CURL will follow the redirect for us or if we have to loop it manually, and what happens to the result code...
What does that mean? Is it possible to fix this? If else, is there some other way for us to import 6 specific articles from sv.wiki with full history? Could we specify which articles are concerned and someone will put them i our database using some other interface? /Micke
Looks to me like Brion is saying the code needs changing. If that's the case, I guess there's nothing to do on shell at present & then the shell keyword should be removed.
Is this still a issue for you guys trying to import?
Using import was really only relevant at the time of the original request, when we had a team working on importing articles from Wikipedia to create a paper book. Since it didn't work, the team found another way. I don't know if it works or not, but to my knowledge, it is not needed anymore.
