Wiktionary talk:Votes/bt-2012-04/User:WarddrBOT for bot status

Per WT:BOT, the bot operator should include in this request for the bot flag "The bot software you'll be using, with pointers to its source and documentation if it's not standard". &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 22:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The default interwiki.py from the pywikipedia framework. Most of the time interwiki.py -new:20 -family:wiktionary -wiktionary -lang:nl - Warddr (talk) 14:49, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. A couple further questions:
 * What does  do? I don't see it documented at mw:manual:pywikipediabot/interwiki.py.
 * Last 20 new pages, -new is 100 last pages, but I plan to run the bot frequently and wiktionary-nl isn't that active, just to reduce server load - Warddr (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Why are you seeking permission here to run a bot on nlwikt?
 * The interwiki bot runs everywhere, -lang:nl tells the bot to look at the last new pages from wiktionary-nl, and than add links on every wiktionary if necessary. - Warddr (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Are we to assume you mean  rather than  ?
 * Indeed, I just wrote this quickly - Warddr (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You say you'd do the above "[m]ost of the time". What else are you planning?
 * Maybe -lang:Another wiki. - Warddr (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you have reason to think the existing interwiki bots (Luckas-bot and VolkovBot) are insufficient?
 * It's always good to have a backup, the last one seems to be working with -lang:et only. I work with -lang:nl - Warddr (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 15:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I answered inline. - Warddr (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * How does it deal with interwikis for redirects? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * the -wiktionary option makes sure only to link to pages with exactly the same name, so redirects are not followed. This is all according to the wiktionary interwiki policy. - Warddr (talk) 16:11, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
