Enable Special:Import on dewikinews
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Sysops on German Wikinews are not able to import pages from other Wikinews projects for translating and further editing texts.

https://de.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Verbesserungsideen#Import_von_Artikeln_aus_anderen_Sprachversionen

Could you please enable special:import on German Wikinews for English, French, and Spanish Wikinews?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Jürgen Fenn.

It is a general rule to gather consensus before requesting a configuration change; I have been unable to find any consensus to enable import on that page.

It was explained to supplicant that there is no need for Imports i) in general ii) absolutely no need within the wikinews-projects where a CC-by with Attribution to 'Wikinews' apply.

Considering the wellknown Behavior of the supplicant(=Aschmidt) in my eyes this is a kind of trolling.(see the provided link).

There is no need for Import in my view (as an actual sysop at german Wikinews).

The discussion on the German Wikinews has apparently halted, so I'm closing this as RESOLVED INVALID. Please reopen if there is consensus among the community to have this enabled, thanks!
