I myself use Robbot on all languages; the only thing that could be improved regarding SUL is that I have to type in its password once for each language rather than one time for all, and as regards bot flags - it seems it has one on every language where it needs it. > One problem here is that interwiki.py only adds links.

Well, as said, I use Robbot on all languages, the code I use for that is: from family import Family for lang in Family().alphabetic: usernames['wikipedia'][lang] = 'Robbot' This gives me 2 warnings every time I start the bot, but I just ignore them. With such a setting, whenever I get to a conflict of which I know the resolution, I start a separate interwiki.py with the necessary -ignore or -neverlink and -force, and the bot will remove at least that problem everywhere it exists. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
