When doing transwiki import e.g. from wiktionary to wikipedia and on target project page with same name exists, imported page replaces content of article. It would be better if there is smome warning like when moving page: target exists, replace/delete? http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nosn%C3%AD_ods%C3%A1va%C4%8Dka&action=history
Import merges histories: * if the imported versions are older than the current local page, you'll still see the current local page on top * if the imported versions are newer than the current local page, it may indeed update the current version to the newest one. If you need to revert back to an alternate version that should work as normal.
Ok, that looks logicaly, but why there is no warning, that target page already exists?
Because you aren't losing anything — the history is all there. It is assumed that if you didn't want the latest version, you wouldn't be doing the merge.
Yes, but it means, that I must check before import existence of page. But when i found in Wiktionary typical encyclopedic article or in wikipedia wiktionary's one, I want simply import and after that make some changes. And in this case the info, that target article exists will be useful.
