Transwiki importing gives no warning about an existing page title
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

When using Special:Import to do a transwiki import (e.g., from https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Import), if the destination title already exists, the revisions will just be "merged" (dumped) onto the same title, without warning the user. This is pretty awful. I couldn't find a bug that was tracking this issue.

Somewhat related to bug 6808.
