Spin off from the "Phase 1" thread. 2013/1/29 Magnus Manske <magnusman...@googlemail.com>: > Why not just block the bots on wikis that use wikidata?
This looks like the right thing to me, but I don't want to be too rude to the bot operators and I do want the bots to keep doing useful things. Imagine the scenario: * Wikidata Client is deployed to the Hebrew Wikipedia. * I remove interlanguage links from the Hebrew Wikipedia article [[ASCII]], an item for which is available in the Wikidata Repo ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8815 ). ** The article is supposed to show the links brought from Wikidata now. * After some time User:LovelyBot adds the links back. * I block User:LovelyBot. Now what do I say to User:Lovely? A: Stop changing interlanguage links on the Hebrew Wikipedia. We have Wikidata now. B: Update your pywikipedia bot configuration (or version). We have Wikidata now, and your bot must not touch articles that get the interlanguage links from the Wikidata repo. I prefer option B, but can pywikipediabot indeed identify that the links in the article are coming from Wikidata? And are there interwiki bots that are not using the pywikipediabot infrastructure? -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
