Description

User with the user right "importupload" but without "import" cannot import xml with the api.

prop=info gives:
Action 'import' is not allowed for the current user

importupload gives:
code=cantimport, info=You don't have permission to import pages

Special:Import allows import of xml without "import".

Thanks.

import allows user to import one page per time from another wiki ("transwiki"). 1.5+

importupload allows user to import several pages per time from XML files. This right was called 'importraw' in and before version 1.5. 1.5+
