Pleease Enable Special:Import for administrator in Bengali Wikipedia. Jayanta sysop, bnwiki User:jayantanth
When I Open the 'Special:Import' page, I see this:No transwiki import sources have been defined and direct history uploads are disabled.
Hi have any queries on this?
Created attachment 10160 [details] Import
Please link to a local community discussion where consensus to add import sources exists (as well as which import sources to add). Direct history uploads are disabled on all WMF wikis.
(In reply to comment #5) > Direct history uploads are disabled on all WMF wikis. That is not really true, some wikis have it enabled...
My mistake. In any case, there still needs to be on-wiki consensus for changes here.
I can start local community discussion regarding this matter, but I only want this for administrator/syspos only. we/I need it for Special:Import from enwiki mostly. strengly Bug 31185 fix without local community discussion!
That doesn't look fixed, actually. There should be community consensus for these types of changes.
Ok, Bug 31185 not fixed!! but status is fixed!! Although, I shall start local community discussion regarding this matter.
Hi,local community discussion at http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VP
The updated link of the discussion and community consensus is here: http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/wp:vp#enable-import ; I think you can go with processing the bug. Bureaucrats should be able to grant and remove import flags to non-admins per local policy. Thanks!
Hi have any further queries on this?
Import is already enabled. 'crats can now add/remove import... Nothing further has been requested
When I Open the 'Special:Import' page, I see this message again :"No transwiki import sources have been defined and direct history uploads are disabled."
As per this page http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:ListGroupRights, Admin should import.

I don't get that, You've also not said which wikis you want to be able to import from Import pages from other wikis (import) (In reply to comment #16) > As per this page http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:ListGroupRights, Admin > should import. They can.

We still not can Off topic: How Bug 31185 fixed without local community consensus? Are there any any different policy for Oriya/odia wikipedia?
Please fix this bug...I don't know what is the big issue to fixed this.
Please fix this bug... we have to import lots of Template from enwiki, otherwise we have to create manually copy and paste. Please help us. Please help help.............
I've committed this in gerrit, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/7133/ - awaiting approval. Yay first commit!
And done, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/7133/2/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php,unified
(In reply to comment #22) > And done, > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/7133/2/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php,unified Thank you all, but where are "upload import: import a file in a special XML format produced by exporting pages from en wiki?" I want to import XML format produced by exporting pages from en wiki, but there are no option to upload XML format in Special:Import in Bengali Wikipedia.
Created attachment 10573 [details] Image There's no reason for you to export to XML from enwiki to then import. You can use transwiki import. But both are enabled, see the image
Created attachment 10574 [details] Import with Transwiki import and no upload XML data Thank you, I can see the image you have uploaded, Thats fine with upload XML data. I don't know what is the problem with me!!! in Special:import page there are no upload XML data section , please find the attachment file.
Which user groups are you in? You need the importupload right, I think
I am in "administrator" Group, and I think I have to got "importer" rights then I can use both "importupload" and "import" as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights, it means administrator cant access "importupload", they can access only "import" flag. Even Bureaucrats cant add "importer" group. So who can do this?
https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B7:ListGroupRights Bureaucrats (list of members) Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimit) Override the spoofing checks (override-antispoof) Rename users (renameuser) Add groups: Importers, Administrators, Bureaucrats, Bots and Reviewers Remove groups: Importers, Bots and Reviewers
