Description

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.

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.

The only concrete request I could see here was to add Meta and Nostalgia, so that's what I did.

What about de, es, fr, it, pl ?
