Does it prevent imports? If it goes via the db, it might still work.

Options to be added:

Wiktionary
Wikinews

We can't add a whole project and all of its language subdomains. Did you want simple.wiktionary.org and en.wikinews.org or something else?

Wikispecies

I've tested importing from Simple English Wikibooks and get "Import failed: Could not open import file", so it does prevent imports.

Well, being the English Wikibooks, we'd need en.wiktionary.org and en.wikinews.org.

If the developers choose to fulfill bug 22695
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22695) then I'd request that
the option to import from Simple English Wikibooks *not* be removed in the
course of the resolution of this bug report.
