Huge number of imports?

Hi Tgr, any background to the huge number of content imports you've been working on? Are they going to live here for a long time? Xaosflux (talk) 19:10, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, they are intended to be permanent. The context is T253254. Do you think that is problematic?

Not specifically, please note though that I think your script had a syntax bug, instead of linking to the original pages in your footers (e.g. [[:w:en:Main page]] you created interwiki links with [[en:Main Page]] style links. Xaosflux (talk) 19:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

We certainly don't want to have any "content" arguments here - assuming anyone has issue with any specific page will your tests get ruined if a page is deleted? Xaosflux (talk) 19:54, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

The script was the standard transferbot.py. As long as it's a small number of pages, I don't think deleting them is problematic.

I don't think it's worth the effort. Presumably interwiki bots (do we even have those these days?) ignore testwiki.

Xaosflux (talkcontribs)

Oh the bots shouldn't come and do anything here (besides testwiki goes to testwikidata).

The issue provided me an opportunity to try out Bandersnatch and PAWS; so thanks, I guess.
