Images imported from gral
Gral: is the name of the secret organisation wiki. It is maintained until we have registered the internet domain (whose name has to be secret, of course) and set up the new domain. Unfortunately, some articles on gral seem to be there by mistake, there is nothing secret on them at all. In order to make it easier to transfer articles from gral: to the public, I have copied most of the images from gral to shared. -- Hansm 17:09, 10 October 2006 (CEST)

Import Image talk: pages from WT?
I wonder if we should import also the Image talk: pages from WT/shared or WT/de, respectively. Sometimes, there is some usefull Information about licensing or notes about further use etc. At the first run, I had decided to skip them, but now, I'd rather like to import them, too. Opinions? -- Hansm 17:50, 11 December 2006 (CET)


 * We should import these pages. Even today I needed the talk page. I linked to the WT page but it's better to have the information in our database. -- DerFussi 18:18, 11 December 2006 (CET)


 * Done. But there are only very few Image talk: pages. -- Hansm 17:12, 12 December 2006 (CET)

Import Categories from WT/shared?
There is a whole lot of Categories on WT/shared, now. Should we do a mass import to our shared:? I could run a script that checks for existing categories on WV/shared and prevents to overwrite them. -- Hansm 17:50, 11 December 2006 (CET)


 * No. After having had a closer look on WT/shared categories, I'm not for downloading them. There are almost 50,000 categories on WT/shared, most of them automaticaly created from the UNLOC-list. If we ever need this categories, we better make them ourselfs. -- Hansm 17:47, 12 December 2006 (CET)


 * It's really true. You will have a lot of categories without any touristic interest but a lot of categories missing which are not in the UNLOC data base. We can use the data base to select uniform site names. -- Roland 18:41, 12 December 2006 (CET)
