When importing, you should be able to enter the destination page name, rather than having the wiki select it based on the old page name.
This may only be possible for transwiki import, due to the complex nature of XML dumps.
Original description:
At the moment, importing pages (when activated) from other wikipediae is only
possible with the same pagename in the source-wiki as in the target-wiki. Is it
possible, just like with uploading images, to have the possibility to give the
page in the targetwiki another name as in the sourcewiki? for example, when we
want to copy the page [[pie]] in wikipedia to [[Coockingbook/pie]] in wikibooks,
because there is a recipe on that page, we can now only import to [[b:pie]], and
then rename it to [[coockingbook/pie]]. This is not very nice of course, but
give problems when there already exists a page with the same name, but with
other content.
