--- Comment #4 from Nemo <[email protected]> 2012-11-08 07:11:07 UTC ---
The import logs on mul.source and la.source show different problems.
The underlying limit is that MediaWiki doesn't load the localised namespace
names in all languages and can't possibly know the names of extra namespaces
and local namespace aliases (which are wiki-specific configuration), nor it can
use namespace IDs to do translations as the same ID can be used for different
things (even across different Wikisources).
I've done some tests to (hopefully) show the problem better on test.wiki:
https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/import&dir=prev&offset=20121009224105&limit=6&type=import&user=
; note that "Hilfe" is defined locally as extra namespace for "Help" in German
(separate from local Help:).

I think we can't expect Special:Import to be able to resolve all namespace
issues, but it should definitely avoid to create pages like
[[Template:Vorlage:SperrSchrift]]  and let the importer fix things.
