An importer is a user with import rights, generally speaking.

On Wikimedia wikis, there are two kinds of importers:

  • importers can perform both transwiki and upload import (import and importupload 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 dedicated page (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:

Wikis where bureaucrats (or sysops) can assign import rights

On some wikis local bureaucrats (or sysops) can assign and remove import rights. Their list is in the Table below.

Catetan

  1. Besides transwiki importers, the 'import' user right is assigned by default to sysops on all MediaWiki projects (except closed wikis) and to the 'Bot dengan hak pengurus' group in Sorani Wikipedia (see Bug 52578), French Wiktionary, Malayalam Wikipedia, Malayalam Wikisource and Malayalam Wiktionary; and groups with 'editinterface' right in Hebrew Wikipedia.
  2. On Sorani Wikipedia (bug 52633), German Wikiquote, German Wiktionary, Hebrew Wikivoyage and English Wikibooks, sysops have importupload rights; on Sorani Wikipedia, the 'Bot dengan hak pengurus' group have importupload rights.
  3. Although transwiki import may require requesting wiki configuration changes to enable import from the wiki you're interested in (import source).
