EdoBot
Operator:

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, semi-supervised

Programming language(s): Python (Pywikipedia)

Source code available: interwiki.py

Function overview: This bot will be using the standard function of interwiki.py to create and maintain interwiki links.

Edit period(s): Large number of runs (close to continuous)

Estimated number of pages affected: Dozens per day.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No

Function details: This is yet another request for an interwiki bot. I realize that there are lots of them already, but redundancy is never a bad idea, and one more won't hurt ;). The bot is also pending approval on the Simple English, Italian and French Wikipedias. If all goes well I will apply for the bot flag on more wikis, and eventually the global bot flag.

 * Your flag is now approved at simple :) I, if I were a BAG member, I'd speedily approve for trial, but I'm not. — I-20 the highway  00:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, thanks :). Bot is now in trial at French and Italian Wikipedias. Flag also requested on Wikiversity, Wikispecies and Wikiquote. - EdoDodo  talk 20:06, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Are you familiar with the relevant local policy pertaining to interwiki bots? Specifically, will you ensure the bot does not run in templatespace? – xeno talk 16:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
