Discussion

Will you be running with force off, and will autonomous mode be on or off? I note that you say this is assisted, what's the reason for that? Also, unless you've changed the pywikipedia settings, it should be exclusion compliant. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 05:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I never use (or will use) -force nor -autonomous nor a combination of them, that is why I state assisted. I want to know if an i/w Ii remove refers to an actually deleted artcle, and always either manually fix interweaved interwikis or give-up. I haven't changed any pywikipedia settings. I only edit pages (in the main or rarely category namespace) that already have interwiki links (missing some languges) so what is the reason for an exclusion or not?--Egmontaz♤ ^talk 06:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Despite that, there is still a risk that the bot could mess something up (say pywikipedia doesn't update something quickly enough), make sure you leave the {{Bots}} on,it won't do any harm, since hardly any pages use it :). Anyway, other than that, no problems, so Speedily Approved. as uncontroversial interwiki linking bot - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
