Okay, I was worried that that page might have had a massive history, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Can you import other pages from Chinese Wikipedia? Can you import this page with the "copy all revisions" option turned off?

Both are not ok: They display "Import failed: Could not open import file". But it's quite strange that some days ago, I successfully imported a page for zhwiki. So whats the problem?

The import process was still fetching the pages over HTTP, and after recent changes requiring clients to use HTTPS, the internal import requests were being denied with HTTP 403 Forbidden errors.
To fix this, the interwiki map has been updated so that all interwiki links now use https: URLs instead of protocol-relative URLs (which are always expanded to http: URLs by the import process).
Thanks to @Legoktm for looking into this so quickly.

This was caused by the change to break HTTP POST requests to the API, we just didn't notice that transwiki import was still going over HTTP. Since it used the interwiki map, which had proto-rel URLs, it was assuming HTTP. We made the interwiki map HTTPS, so that transwiki import will use HTTPS as well. Confirmed by importing an article from enwp to testwp.
CC @BBlack because I'm not sure why we didn't notice this in the logs he was looking through for bots...

We only reported on logged-in account access during the final phase, not anonymous access.

Reopening per comment in T140532: import from Nostalgia Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia fails, etc from @Graham87 that it is still occurring.

I don't have import rights on enwiki, so I wonder if @Legoktm has time to look at this?

nostalgiawiki is still protcol-relative on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map and there are others like mediawiki.org, oldwikisource, etc. that also need to be converted...a meta admin, GEI, or steward will need to do that and then I can re-sync it.

(Also I'm afk most of today so if someone else wants to take the lead on this, that would be great. Otherwise I'll get to it in ~12 hours).

Okay, I'm going to find someone with the correct edit rights on meta, then prepare the config change.

Funny thing is, I actually preempted this, but didn't put two and two together when nostalgiawiki was mentioned (I forgot it was in the meta map). Thanks to those who got onto fixing this.
