What is an importer?
An importer is a user with import rights, generally speaking.
On Wikimedia wikis, there are two kinds of importers:
- transwiki importers can perform only transwiki import (
importpermission)[1] - importers can perform both transwiki and upload import (
importandimportuploadpermissions).
Import is a rarely needed feature; for instance, it's not needed for CC-BY-SA copyright compliance, see Terms of use.
These flags are enabled on all wikis,[2] but can be assigned only by stewards after a request on m:Steward requests/Permissions (especially the import flag which includes the importupload right which is particularly dangerous) and only on a temporary basis for a specific task, unless the project has a local process and policy to assign permanent import rights.

Notes
- ↑ Besides transwiki importers, the "
import" userright is assigned by default to administrators on all MediaWiki projects (except closed wikis). - ↑ Although transwiki import may require requesting wiki configuration changes to enable import from the wiki you're interested in (import source).
