Special:Import should have one drop-down for the project language (en, de, az, etc.) and one drop-down for the project name (wikipedia, wikinews, etc.). This will keep the list much shorter when importing is enabled cross all projects.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Why not use textboxes, and return an error for combinations which don't exist?
Attached:
Special:Import using sources for transwiki imports don't have a definition of lang/sitename. They only have the IW prefix to work from.
Domain name (e.g., "en.wikipedia.org") or database name (e.g., "enwiki") is more sane here, I imagine.
