@Sushilmishra: Could you elaborate why this request is way more urgent ("high priority") than the other existing open site requests from other community members?

@Aklapper it is more urgent because we need to import templates from other wikipedias for liecensing purpose so that we can start uploading pictures locally...as every locally uploaded picture should carry a liecense....this and many more immediate requirments we have for which we need it...if this can be fixed at the earliest then we at gom.wikipedia will be very grateful to you...tnx...
gom.wikipedia is new and it needs many initially infoboxes and templates which we need to import from other wikipedia...so please support the growth of gom.wikipedia tnx....

That's an unusually high number of import sources. What can you possibly use from all of those seemingly random wikipedias?

@Krenair those are not random wikipedias, if you note except spanish, portuguese, english, german, russian, simple english and dutch wikipedias rest all are indian languages and closely related to konkani language, further please refer to this click here where in similar request was accepted...tnx

@Dereckson please do this task mate....gom.wikipedia ll be very grateful to you for this....tnx a lot in advance...

Importing modules is currently kind of broken.

@Sushilmishra I hardly doubt that you need that many wiki from which to import templates on a permanent basis. Grab a few of the important wikis — main language and Indic WPs, and Commons, and maybe meta.

@Aklapper, I would hope that a simpler configuration change like this would and could be prioritised once its detail is completed.

What does it matter? Once T17583 is resolved, everyone will be able to import from everyone else, so I for one have generally been quite open to allowing wikis to add as many import sources as they wish, so long as there has been a community consensus for switching on transwiki imports in the first place.
