- The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. To request review of this BRFA, please start a new section at WT:BRFA. The result of the discussion was Approved.
Operator: EdoDodo (talk · contribs)
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-20the highway 00:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you familiar with the relevant local policy pertaining to interwiki bots? Specifically, will you ensure the bot does not run in templatespace? –xenotalk 16:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
