Lot of wiki want add some import some page from a wiki to an another. Why not create a specific wiki for that. A sort of hub-import-wiki. For exemple : ja.wb want to import a pt.wp page. two solutions : the first, tell to bugzilla to create the import link. Second, copy/past The new solution : a transwiki wiki, and it's only work is to make easier the import file. This transwiki wiki have all WMF wiki on it's import configuration. All WMF wiki have only the transkiki on it's import configuration. When a WMF wiki want to import a page from an another, it tell it (in a equiv of a 'village pump' ) to the transwiki wiki, wich import in it the page, and after the wiki can import from the transwiki. That my idea. It can be better of course, or ...
This is a horrible idea. Among other things, the import is already broken enough in that it doesn't clearly store anywhere the information of where the revisions come from, and this proposal would break it completely by making even the log useless. In general, if what you want is more flexibility for imports and import configuration, what you're looking for is either bug 26992 or importupload ([[m:Importer]]).
