Description:
Spezial:Import should not try to import and execute the whole file at once. I think it would be better when the import would be made step by step/page by page and the result/progress would be displayed via ajax. Then maybe even bigger files could be importet with a shorter execution time and a smaller memory limit
Version: 1.21.x
Severity: enhancement

The import process could be improved extremely by loading the file and then processing in background instead of waiting for the answer until the import is proceeded completely.
It's a good idea, I've thought of it by myself...
Actually I think the ideal import process should resemble DVCS one, like 'git fetch' :-)
And just for the interest - what are your use cases of import, what for do you use it? (we use it for regular replication between wiki installations)

I use it because aggregate pages from different wikis under CC by-sa (mainly german wikipedia) to add Semantic Annotations in my wiki and add further information. Because of this I have to import the complete history (according to CC by-sa License) which can take very long for big and old pages.
