Discussion
Have you read through the local bot policy? 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 only to inexisting pages, or with the previous more aggressive -force option that removes interwikis to different namespaces as well? - EdoDodo  talk 15:05, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm aware of local bot policy, The bot will mostly run in main namspace, but sometimes it will run in category namespace too. It's not specially made to run in template namespace, so it won't. And yes, it will run with -cleanup option, instead of previous -force option. :) &mdash; Tanvir &bull; 18:15, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
