Following the implementation of single-user login, importing from any public Wikimedia project to another should be possible for admins.
Removed shell keyword (as this isn't ready) and added two dependencies.
I guess this is related to bug 14264, as can be seen from the comments on that page.
Bumping this. Is there any reason this can't be done now?
(In reply to comment #3) > Bumping this. Is there any reason this can't be done now? A number of reasons I'd say. There may be consensus for a subset of interwikis but discussion wasn't much participated. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Forum&oldid=5364848#Idea:_standard_import_sources

For the record, that discussion had nothing to do with this bug. I don't believe this is a "shellpolicy" issue, as it's clearly a desired enhancement across Wikimedia wikis. Removing the keyword and the unrelated URL.
I think, however this is done, it is probably going to require some changes (or a new script) in WikimediaMaintenance. I have found it incredibly difficult to get people to review patches in that repository, so don't expect a hasty resolution.
It *may* be possible without changing WikimediaMaintenance. Let's see...
Change 157338 had a related patch set uploaded by TTO: Allow import from any WMF project to any other https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/157338
