I guess it only makes sense if the deployment will be few languages at a time. If at some point you will start switching them in bulk, it might make sense not to do it. On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 5:29 AM, Amir Ladsgroup ladsgr...@gmail.com wrote: That's a very interesting idea when i check this:

I think it might take some time to rewrite and test the new interwiki bot. If the bot operators simply download the latest version, they will continue running the old one until its fixed. If we plan to deploy wikidata to all sites soon, there is really no point in running IW bots any more until
