Currently I'm engaged in porting popular on-wiki gadgets into MediaWiki extensions. Many of these scripts have had existing docs on wiki pages, almost usable here. That's why I'm requesting importer access: I'm going to import those pages, typically from Commons and Wikipedia to here, then we won't need to create these pages anew, and preserving history. -- U.T. 15:32, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Support but please be careful - importing is a powertool that can easily mess up the wiki in ways that are a pain to undo. * Pppery * it has begun 01:43, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Please give example of the pages. – Ammarpad (talk) 09:12, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Info pages related to HotCat on many wikis are my examples. Also, I may port some other gadgets as well, those pages will need importing then. I wouldn't like to bother others every time I do so. -- U.T. 10:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Any chance to use transwiki import (if needed we can add wikis to transwiki import)? --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:13, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- This is what I'm going to heavily make use of... Especially commons and wp. -- U.T. 09:58, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Probably you need to fill a ticket to add commons to import source :) Stang 17:28, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Then you probably do not need importer rights, transwiki importer would be sufficient? --Ameisenigel (talk) 15:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
