Discussion
The interewiki linking is obviously fairly uncontroversial here. I see you have plenty of experience on other wikis, but please confirm that you will not be adding interwiki links to pages in the template namespace, and understand our bot policy, in particular Bot_policy. As to the Link FA, this has been approved for a couple of bots before, and again seems fairly uncontroversial. Also, would it be possible to change the edit rate from 1/6sec to one edit every 10 seconds? It's nitpicky, but hey! - Kingpin13 (talk) 09:24, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, 6 edits per min :) And yes, I have read and understand the bot policy, and as I wrote previously, I'm going to work only with articles and categories. Best regards --by Màñüé£†¹5 (m†¹5™) 10:06, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh right, did spot that namespace notice but forgot *sheepish grin*. Okay, may as well do a small trial, more for the Link FA than the interwiki, since we rarely bother with trialling the latter. - Kingpin13 (talk) 10:10, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
