Discussion

• I am a first time bot operator, but I've successfully experiemented with Pywikipedia at the Esperanto, and would like to complete links to here. Since I am new at this, friendly advice would helpful. ;-) -- Yekrats 13:30, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  Assuming you mean edits per min, I don't see where this would be a problem, but, I don't use pywikipedia, I recall something about interwiki.py being bad to run automated? I'm probably way off, but, I bet someone else around here'll know :) SQL^{Query me!} 13:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  Um, yeah, I meant minute. (Updated above.) I would be open to advice how to run it. I won't just let it run forever. I'll probably just pick an evening and run a few interwikis for an hour or so. It won't be a 24-hour per day thing. Again, I'd be willing to get free advice. ;-) -- Yekrats

• Interwiki is pretty much standard - feel free to go ahead and trial it a bit (50 edits or so). -- Tawker (talk) 07:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
