Importer
English · English · hrvatski |
An importer is a user with import rights, generally speaking.
On Wikimedia wikis, there are two kinds of importers:
- transwiki importers can perform only transwiki import (
import
permission);[1] - importers can perform both transwiki and upload import (
import
andimportupload
permissions).[2]
Import is a rarely needed feature; for instance, it's not needed for CC-BY-SA copyright compliance, see Terms of use.
These flags are enabled on all wikis,[3] but can be assigned only by stewards after a request on Steward requests/Permissions (especially the import flag which includes the importupload
right which is particularly dangerous) and only on a temporary basis for a specific task, unless the project has a local process and policy to assign permanent import rights.
Very few projects need and have such a policy including
- de.wiki,
- en.wikibooks,
- fr.wikt,
- incubator,
- it.wikt,
- MediaWikiWiki (mw:Project:Importers, mw:Project:Transwiki importers).
Wikis where bureaucrats (or sysops) can assign import rightsEdit
On some wikis local bureaucrats (or sysops) can assign and remove import rights. Their list is in the Table below.

NotesEdit
- ↑ Besides transwiki importers, the 'import' userright is assigned by default to sysops on all Mediawiki projects (except closed wikis) and to the 'botadmin' group in ckbwiki (see Bug 52578), frwiktionary, mlwiki, mlwikisource and mlwiktionary; and 'editinterface' groups in hewiki.
- ↑ On ckbwiki (bug 52633), dewikiquote, dewiktionary and hewikivoyage, sysops have importupload rights; on ckbwiki, the 'botadmin' group have importupload rights.
- ↑ Although transwiki import may require requesting wiki configuration changes to enable import from the wiki you're interested in (import source).
