Request for Import IV
Could you please import the following page from Wikipedia to Wikibooks?


 * Principality of Seborga to Micronations/List of already existing micronations/Principality of Seborga

Thanks in Advance,Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 11:16, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello? Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 09:22, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * although I have a pretty good optical fiber, I've tried two times but the page seems too large for the foundation servers:


 * So, I invite you to just copy it and mention its source, and the history import would be done after an infrastructure upgrade. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 10:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I've had some of the larger imports fail a dozen times or so (with various error messages, sometimes that one and sometimes something else), then work. It seems loosely related to size, but there's a random element in it too.  Afaik, it's been like that since before I got my admin flag (almost ten years ago).  If we keep trying from time to time, this one may randomly decide to cooperate.  (I might give in a few tries myself at some point, if somebody doesn't beat me to it.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 12:19, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * , I’m just wondering, if I copy the page from Wikipedia, can I put the permanent link to the Wikipedia revision in my edit summary or in the talk page or somewhere else that isn’t in the page itself? And in the page “Dominion of British West Florida”, can I move the permanent urls from the page itself to the talk page? Thanking in advance, Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 13:30, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I've just successfully imported it. Regarding how to handle these things when we haven't (yet) gotten import to work: by preference, imo, put the link in your edit summary when creating it. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! Regarding to the page “Dominion of British West Florida”, a page that has already been created, and is based on 2 Wikipedia articles, are there any alternatives to having a list of permanent links at the end of the article? Thanking in advance, Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 16:15, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, we could conceivably import both articles and history-merge them into it; how practical that would be depends on the articles involved. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:43, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The link to the Wikibooks page is Micronations/List of already existing micronations/Dominion of British West Florida, and the permanent links are: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dominion_of_British_West_Florida&oldid=925825288 and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_West_Florida&oldid=924949681.

Request for importing Template:Tracked
Hi, could you import w:en:Template:Tracked and it's documentation pages from English Wikipedia? This template can be useful for linking to Phabricator tasks. I noticed we don't have such template here. Cordially, Masumrezarock100 (discuss • contribs) 01:27, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Imported Template:Tracked and Template:Tracked/doc, and fixed some stuff on the latter that was broken because of peripheral things not here. You said documentation pages, plural; is anything else called for? --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 01:49, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Nah. I thought the template and it's documentation page depended some local (enwiki) templates. Should be enough if the template is working. Masumrezarock100 (discuss • contribs) 01:55, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

2 templates
Could you please import w:Template:Card and w:Template:Infobox card game Thanks. Champion (discuss • contribs) 07:06, 23 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Wikipedian infoboxes are almost certainly not stylistically appropriate to Wikibooks. What do you have in mind? --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 22:23, 23 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Card imported. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 22:27, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Request for Import V
Hi, could you please import Somaliland to Micronations/List of already existing micronations/Somaliland? Thanks in advance. Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 17:36, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia Error: Our servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:45, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd just been trying to do this, too. I got that error once, and another time I got a thoroughly incoherent message about a missing   tag, or something like that.  I figured I'd just try again every once in a while. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 20:50, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * (Oh, my mistake: . :-)  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 20:57, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you please check is it working now? Thanks in advance, Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 07:50, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Nuthin' atm. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 11:24, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway. Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 13:41, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Not too surprising it's having difficulty with this one; it has over six thousand revisions. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:24, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * So do you recommend to copy paste the article, and put the permanent link to the revision of the page in the description? Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 15:39, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello? Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 09:05, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I had intended to put off answering your question for maybe ten or twelve hours, in case maybe I got it to work by waiting till that time of day. I've noticed sometimes these big imports work better then.  However, as often happens it was a long day and by the end of it I forgot. Yes, that sounds like a good way to do it.
 * OK, I will copy it right away. Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 15:09, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Done ✅. The link to the page. Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 15:17, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
