Importing and import uploading

edit

To preserve edit histories and observe the attribution requirements of the licenses, content from our sister projects should be imported rather than simply pasted into a new module.

  • Importers can import pages from any of the English-language projects, Simple English Wikibooks, Meta, and Wikispecies.
  • Administrators, and import uploaders, can import from any wiki (even non-WMF).

Requests to import can be made to help in making or expanding a book, and to move works from other projects that fit Wikibooks' scope.

  • Place requests below and an administrator or importer will try to perform the import promptly.
  • Note that administrators and importers are not responsible for moving and cleaning up pages. Please watch this page for when the import is complete and take care of the imported page.

Administrators and importers:

  • Please read Help:Importing first.
  • To import a page, go to Special:Import.
  • Pages will by default import into Transwiki:Page's name, which can be moved to a new location.
  • After import, add {{dewikify}} to the page and make a note where the imported page has ended up.
  • Pages with extremely long edit histories may fail to import. In this case, a single revision which gives attribution to the source wiki will be imported. While this isn't ideal, it should satisfy our licensing. Note that repeated attempts to import may eventually bring over the history, so if it fails on the first attempt, you might want to try it a few more times. Please see bug 15000 (and vote for it to get it resolved sooner).

Non-free media uploading

edit

Where non-free media is required in a book, editors may request an administrator or uploader to upload the file by making a request below. Please provide the non-free media rationale.

Import and Merge

edit

Use this section for imports that need to be "history-merged" with a module that has already been started using copy-paste.

zh:AI in Open and Distance Education

Does it fit here? Jusjih (discusscontribs) 17:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jusjih: It doesn't look like a book? Leaderboard (discusscontribs) 06:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think it as a book along with zh:Examples of AI use in Open and Distance Education.--Jusjih (discusscontribs) 13:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Is the thought that these could be expanded and combined into a new book? To me, neither seems sufficient to be a book on its own. Do you have a proposed book idea/outline and scope for these? Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discusscontribs) 14:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Maybe import both pages and move them under Open and Distance Education?--Jusjih (discusscontribs) 16:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sure, I think it would be reasonable to incorporate it into that book! —Kittycataclysm (discusscontribs) 18:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Kittycataclysm, Leaderboard: Imported both pages need to be cleaned up.--Jusjih (discusscontribs) 18:06, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's something you can do, right? Leaderboard (discusscontribs) 19:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes. Yet I was just asking others. No objection means having Open and Distance Education#Table of Contents expanded.--Jusjih (discusscontribs) 21:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
