Description MZMcBride 2008-09-12 21:33:39 UTC 
Special:Import should have one drop-down for the project language (en, de, az, etc.) and one drop-down for the project name (wikipedia, wikinews, etc.). This will keep the list much shorter when importing is enabled cross all projects.
Comment 1 Bryan Tong Minh 2008-09-12 21:45:32 UTC 
How to do that without nasty javascript? Not all lang<>project combinations exist.

Why not use textboxes, and return an error for combinations which don't exist?
Comment 3 Chad H. 2008-09-13 05:40:12 UTC 
Special:Import using sources for transwiki imports don't have a definition of lang/sitename. They only have the IW prefix to work from.
Comment 4 MZMcBride 2013-04-05 12:05:16 UTC 
Domain name (e.g., "en.wikipedia.org") or database name (e.g., "enwiki") is more sane here, I imagine.
