After importing an item from wikidatawiki to testwikidatawiki it breaks[1]. The item is now editable like a normal page. [1] https://test.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1000000&action=edit
Interesting, Personally I import from xml to my local test install rather a lot and that seems to work fine, but not when importing directly from wikibase! the import will appear as if it is an entity to start with but the only way to edit is using the standard edit tab. One edit using this and the page breaks simply displaying the json!
Same problem with XML upload[1] (first example was via transwiki). [1] https://test.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q600000&action=history

I've been thinking about this and I don't see a way to do a meaningful import that does what the user expects. When you import items you will mess up all of the references to other items which don't have the same IDs on another system. In most cases you will even get links to items that are about a completely different topic and just happen to have the same ID as the item you really wanted on the old system.
