[Wikitech-l] Interwiki conflicts

I just recently started to play with interwiki.py (Pywikipedia bot framework) for propagating interwiki links. My interest comes from organizing the category tree, so I'm focusing on interwiki links between categories. Interwiki bots normally run in autonomous mode, but this means they give
