Discussion
Will you be running with force off, and will autonomous mode be on or off? I note that you say this is assisted, what's the reason for that? Also, unless you've changed the pywikipedia settings, it should be exclusion compliant. - Kingpin13 (talk) 05:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I never use (or will use) -force nor -autonomous nor a combination of them, that is why I state assisted. I want to know if an i/w Ii remove refers to an actually deleted artcle, and always either manually fix interweaved interwikis or give-up. I haven't changed any pywikipedia settings. I only edit pages (in the main or rarely category namespace) that already have interwiki links (missing some languges) so what is the reason for an exclusion or not?-- Egmontaz  ♤  talk  06:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Despite that, there is still a risk that the bot could mess something up (say pywikipedia doesn't update something quickly enough), make sure you leave the Bots on,it won't do any harm, since hardly any pages use it :). Anyway, other than that, no problems, so as uncontroversial interwiki linking bot - Kingpin13 (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
