Please add these wikis to the import sources for incubatorwiki:
This was proposed on http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:Community_Portal#New_import_sources and there was no opposition.

Now w:de, w:fr, w:es, w:pt, w:nl, w:ru, wikt:en and b:en also occur in the drop-down list on Special:Import, however when trying to import "Import failed: Could not open import file" occurs. Maybe de, fr, es, pt, nl, ru, wikt and b would be sufficient as interwiki sources as they also work in normal pages, e.g. http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/fr:Accueil .
Those sources are all listed. Does the error still occur today? (I cleared out and rebuilt interwiki earlier today so it may have resolved this issue.)
I am going to be optimistic and hope it works, if not, please do not hesitate to reopen the bug. =]
Well, from Wikibooks and Wiktionary it works now, however not from the Wikipedias (except en:).
I can see what you mean, attempting to import from a source like w:fr results in an import failed, even though it is listed in the drop down and in the configuration file. I am not sure why this is, so I am going to email some of the other techs about it and get back to you.
I don't think so, as the problems there seem to be with importing from a page with a "single" prefix (like from Meta, as described there), whereas our problem seem to be the double prefixes (like w:fr instead of fr: etc.).
(In reply to comment #6)
As Incubator is listed as Wikipedia, maybe use instead of "w:fr" simply "fr"?
Is this still an issue?
It is, now however with the error message "Import failed: Expected <mediawiki> tag, got " (I just tested)
MF-Warburg, do we actually need it when we can do the XML file transfer from any wiki?
Obviously not since this request has been pending for about 2 years now with not too many import requests being made (I proposed these additional sources when there was temporarily a height in requests from that wikis). So we might as well close the bug; but I guess finding out what the bug/problem here is couldn't harm either.
