Description xenocidic 2009-08-16 18:56:40 UTC
Several past discussions have enjoyed consensus to import from other wikis. The most recently seeks to import from Nostalgia and Meta, the prior ones from other languages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29&oldid=308334755#Making_it_possible_to_import_edits_from_the_Nostalgia_Wikipedia_and_Meta_to_Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_63#Attribution.2FGDFL_and_translations_.28and_sourcing.29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_59#Special:Import

I realize these must be added individually, so I'll just list the ones that are currently using more than 50 templated translations attributions. 

de, es, fr, it, pl ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Xeno/sandbox&oldid=289399214 ) 

Importing the history would allow us to pass the full attribution without these. 

Enabling all languages, or allowing stewards to configure them as suggested in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14264 would be great.

Changed URL since the discussion has been archived.
Comment 2 Roan Kattouw 2009-12-12 22:21:28 UTC
The only concrete request I could see here was to add Meta and Nostalgia, so that's what I did.
Comment 3 xenocidic 2009-12-13 01:08:47 UTC
What about de, es, fr, it, pl ? 
Comment 4 Roan Kattouw 2009-12-13 18:38:39 UTC

Done.
Comment 5 Graham87 2012-02-13 11:36:18 UTC
I've just made a relevant proposal at Enwiki relating to the newly released historical database dumps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Restoring_long-lost_edits_using_the_newly_released_historical_database_dumps
