I agree with most of the recent posters : this is a most useful improvement. I
hope it gets tested and implemented soon, at least on the small wikis.
1. the overhead of handling bot requests on small wikis, for nothing but
interwiki link fixing, is sufficiently large that there is separate global-bot
policy addressing it and making their bot flagging more automatic. of course
those bots can still misfire, and you want to be able to see what bot edits are
being made to actual content and userpages rather than to interwiki lists at
the end of content -- having a separate wiki where all these edits can be made
together and can have a more limited impact would be handy.
2. We will surely update how this process works over time. It has been broken
for many years; we can at least begin to fix it in this way, which many would
welcome.
3. It makes sense to me to have a single community / area where everyone doing
interwiki link maintenance cna see one another's changes, have their own RC,
and discuss interwiki policy across wikis. This will stop flooding small wikis
and also create a mroe sustainabile community among the hundreds of people
running related bots today -- which you can discover by visiting the village
pump of any poor small wiki which is overrun with english-language 'requests'
for bot flags, also flooding the bot-flagging process on meta.
