Discussion

Make sure you are familiar with Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Interwiki_links. What does "Automatic (Supervised)" mean? Does the bot make the edits without your confirmation, but you immediately afterwards check each edit? Are you aware of the highly similar bot request? Finally, what pywikipedia options are you using? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:03, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What does "Automatic (Supervised)" mean? - I will be resolving disambiguation myself if any, thats why i mentioned as Automatic (Supervised).
pywikipedia options - interwiki.py <page_to_be_updated> -hint:en:<corresponding_en_page>
Wwbot? - I am not aware about the Bot. Manu M G (talk) 05:56, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems a straight-forward py-interwiki bot.
