Is this using the standard pywikipedia interwiki.py? Anomie ⚔ 11:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Standard interwiki.py with no modifications at all.--Verwolff (talk) 13:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you running at +least r7107? Q ^{T C} 12:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am using SVN and as I can read in logs, since today current release is 7107.--Verwolff (talk) 13:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great, since you are using interwiki.py, this will likely be aprroved quickly. But first, are you aware of the problems using interwiki.py on template pages? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:24, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, in my opinion interwiki links between templates are unnecessary, and I am not going to add them to the templates. Pages interwiki help to surf common people during searching for information, but what could be reason to surf between templates? Templates are for more aware users who can find them (templates) without interwiki links. In my opinion interwiki links between categories related to specific subject of templates, should be enough. But suppose, this is necessary. Interwiki links can be add only if they are "wrapped by" noinclude tag. I am not sure is interwiki.py can add this tag by itself - just because I didn't try to do this - and as I said on the start I am not going to. --Verwolff (talk) 09:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Approved. Bot has approval on pl.wikipedia, so approved just for standard interwiki.py here, do not edit templates. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 10:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
