MVEL Language Guide
There is some discussion at Wikisource regarding whether the MVEL Language Guide could be exported to Wikibooks. It was originally hosted on the MVEL website but is currently available only at Wikisource. It's covered by an Apache license. Is hosting it on Wikibooks an option?

 * OK but as there wasn't any special license indicated on Wikisource for more than one year, it seems pretty compatible to me. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 12:45, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Import from Old Wikisource
Should we import Korean Orthography to become Korean/Orthography?--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 00:53, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Good idea, but Special:Import offers only and not . JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't clearly recall the various ways around that problem. (Suggestions perchance, QuiteUnusual?)  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:33, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

I've been through this problem before on the English Wikiversity, perhaps this comment by a user will help us add old wikisource for us to import? --Marshallsumter (comment made; rephrased to match current issues)
 * go to the phabricator.
 * in the left menu, click on "Maniphest".
 * on the right side top look for "create task" and click on it. If it asks you to LDAP login, go to MediaWiki and be sure you are logged in there. Then go back and click on the MediaWiki logo at the phabricator page bottom. It will ask for permission on Mediawiki for all your info. Then it will take you back to the task/create menu.
 * give it a title like "Add OldWikisource to "Special:Import".
 * give it a project name, or the same.
 * in the description say something about adding "old" wikisource to Special:Import and mention that you have consensus at way for me to import articles to here from the Old Wikisource? which you do with all three of us (depends if we have consensus from the WB community) . Be sure to include the entire url as I have put it here.
 * then click on Create Task and keep track of the task number

I believe this is what Jusjih or some other user has to do in order for oldwikisource to be added. Thanks, and hope this helps. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:12, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Phabricator may ask for a consensus here, so I the motion and propose to add also Commons by the way, because they can have some useful templates. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 15:36, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * This has my as well. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:02, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * My also.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 00:47, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * If direct import from Old Wikisource is not enabled, it is possible to import from from Old Wikisource to English Wikisoure, then from English Wikisource to this Wikibooks site. My proposed import is translated from 대한민국 한글 맞춤법(제2014-39호). As it had an earlier version, I just checked that only the Appendix about the punctuation marks has been amended so far. After importing, even if indirectly, I will think how to display the latest and earlier Appendices.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 02:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I have successfully imported Transwiki:Korean Orthography by exporting from Old Wikisource through English Wikiquote where I am an importer, as s:Special:Import has stopped working. Please advise how to move the page to adapt here as we already have Korean/Principles of Orthography. See also Hangul orthography. Thanks.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 00:22, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Is Korean Grammatical Rule needed? (Just wondering.)  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 04:04, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, I've created T142333 for the next times. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 10:36, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Good to know, thanks JackPotte. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 22:05, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * There is no need to have Korean Grammatical Rule, but pending modification, I am hiding it along with amended rules on punctuation. Literally translating 한글 맞춤법 means Hangul Orthography, so unless otherwise suggested, I may want to move "Transwiki:Korean Orthography" into "Korean/Hangul Orthography" as the more advanced and South Korean official information to supplement Korean/Principles of Orthography.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 22:41, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * If it is a one-off there's no need to go through all the effort of adding oldwikisource this way. Any Steward can perform the import between any two projects by exporting to XML format then reuploading. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 13:36, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
