Discussion
Will the bot be staying out of the template namespace, as required by our policy on interwiki linking bots? Will the bot be running with the new -cleanup option of interwiki.py that removes interwikis to inexisting pages? - EdoDodo  talk 18:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. It will not work on the template namespace. I didn't know about the -cleanup option, will take it in account. --Diego Grez (talk) 18:16, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
