Description

I was wondering if it was possible, and it seems like it is.

See: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=&page=C-Pass&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1

Special:Import should check the contentmodel of what it is importing and then check that the namespace uses the same contentmodel.
