Does the community agree with doing this?
I didn't know that community approval is required for this. I've posted a proposal here: http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE:%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2#.E0.A4.B5.E0.A4.BF.E0.A4.95.E0.A4.BF.E0.A4.AA.E0.A5.80.E0.A4.A1.E0.A4.BF.E0.A4.AF.E0.A4.BE_.E0.A4.AA.E0.A4.B0_.E0.A4.86.E0.A4.AF.E0.A4.BE.E0.A4.A4_.E0.A4.85.E0.A4.A7.E0.A4.BF.E0.A4.95.E0.A4.BE.E0.A4.B0

Apparently, all the active users of Hindi Wikipedia are in favour of this.
Thank you for your bug report.
To proceed with this bug, I would need the following information from you:

Since when this possibility is allowed by the way?
See bug 19432.
[ back to shellpolicy waiting an explanation about how the SUL changed the import situation ]
According the configuration files, it seems clear the import practice is now allowed and has been so sometime between 2010 or 2011, with a strong a preference for transwiki rights instead XML import.
The lack of consensus noted in the patch by Hydra to determine the import sources isn't really an obstacle, as there are no straightforward drawbacks to allow a particular source in the import and the hi. community has had more than one month to review the bug and comment the choice.
There is so no obstacle to defer such request anymore.

This is not a valid use case, you only have to link the source page in edit summary, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use#7._Licensing_of_Content (c) and [[m:Importer]].

It depends on bug summary and consensus being unclear: I've clarified the summary now.
You should verify with the community if you agree that you really need this.

that
mean?
Nothing. :)

Community is in complete agreement about this. I provided the link to a page where consensus was reached.
Here's it again:

where consensus was reached.
The discussion was based on a false premise (attribution requirement by history import) and you didn't even know what you were going to ask (importupload or transwiki import), as shown by comment 0 (and Google Translation doesn't disagree, let me know if it's wrong).
So no, it's not clear at all that hi.wiki has a consensus on what you're asking here, and I suggest you to rediscuss the matter with complete information so that every doubt is cleared, if you want to speed things up. Of course this is just my suggestion. :)

User:Siddhartha Ghai explained the technicalities to everyone on November 5 (eighth comment). I've no problem in reopening the discussion, but I feel it's superfluous.
