Possible to protect against import overwrite?

Periodically I want to import a page from another wiki and choose to include templates in the export so that I don't have to manually go fetch a whole chain of things. A common use would something like Template:See Also, which brings over like 20 pages and modules along with it.

The problem is that these imports often overwrite changes to pages that I've modified (e.g. corrected wikipedia specific links). Sometimes they effectively undelete pages I've already deleted.

Is it possible protect a page against import?
