You're welcome. You might notice that your contribs have jumped way up, since a lot of the imported edits were yours. Cool. --Jomegat (talk) 01:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Import infobox template from wikipedia

hello oh masters of the universe. i'd be eternally greatful if you could make the infobox feature available in wikibooks. i am including bios of significant people in my textbook and the infobox structure would do me fine for that. otherwise i'd have to author my own templates which are likely to soak up time and are not going to be as good as the infobox is already. thanks and all the best, Robert Huber (talk) 13:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

There are lots of infobox templates on WP. The one you mentioned in the reading room is {{Infobox_Scientist}}, so I'll import that one for you. Unusual? Quite TalkQu 16:26, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
FYI: Wikibooks has its own {{infobox}} "feature" available that is used somewhat differently from infoboxes on Wikipedia. --darklama 16:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Ah yes, spotted that after I started importing stuff... however, using the existing WB template as a transclusion to the Infobox Scientist one from WP, plus its transcluded templates, seems to work okay.... If anyone thinks this should be done differently, feel free! Unusual? Quite TalkQu 17:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

w:Writing Group and others

This Wikipedia article was nominated for deletion - see w:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Writing Group - with the closing consensus being to transwiki it to Wikibooks. I've placed it in w:Category:Copy to WikiBooks but that seems to be cluttered with articles that have been tagged for years. I'm not at all familiar with WikiBooks, but got pointed here from Wikipedia. Thryduulf (talk) 23:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Done—find it at Transwiki:Writing Group. I'll see about the others and get back to you. -- Adrignola talk contribs 01:54, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
I imported a few recipes in that category. The others could be imported, but someone would have to merge them into an existing book or create a new one with them. They've sat in there for years because Wikibooks can't make use of them in their existing condition and people haven't wanted to import them unless someone's expressed a desire to integrate them. They'd end up sitting in Category:Transwikis needing a home for a few years in all probability. -- Adrignola talk contribs 02:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
  • w:List of Messier objects Please import this as I want to use it in the book Messier Index. Once you import it, just leave it in the transwiki namespace and tell me where it is so I can move it where I want it. Thanks Arlen22 (talk) 15:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
    Done. Find it at Transwiki:List of Messier objects. -- Adrignola talk contribs 16:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
  • w:Enhancing Web Services Security A reasonably well "how to guide" type article that would be better used as part of a book on computer security than on Wikipedia. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
    Done. Find it at Transwiki:Enhancing Web Services Security. -- Adrignola talk contribs 02:40, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
  • w:Keyword Test Case Design, Implementation, and Execution - useful essay that can be used as part of a book on product development --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
    Which book on product development? If there's no book, why import? So many transwikis exist that were brought in and sit unused. -- Adrignola talk contribs 18:16, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
    The page is large enough to function as the start of a book, if needed. Either way, I'll find a home for it. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
    Done. Find it at Transwiki:Keyword Test Case Design, Implementation, and Execution. -- Adrignola talk contribs 16:02, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Done , but none of the history came across. History will show that the article was imported from WP though. --Jomegat (talk) 12:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
