[Bug] Cannot import items, even with allowEntityImport = true, because Wikibase disallows 'direct' create action
Open, MediumPublic
Actions

Description

I cannot import items from xml (via Special:Import) due to permissions issues ('wikibase-no-direct-editing'). This is a create action and we hook into TitleQuickPermissions to disallow create actions for entity namespaces.

maybe a (perhaps not very nice) solution is yet another hook in Import.php where it checks permission? otherwise, I am not sure how to best fix.

Maybe with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/237634 by @Bene we can get rid of TitleQuickPermissions?

@Ricordisamoa if we don't rely on that elsewhere we can safely remove it :-)
