Why do you insist on removing the "site" parameter from the bot template? At svwiki we use it to distinguish between local bot (driven by the user normally active at sv.wikipedia) from the bots operated by users normally working from other sites, in your case meta. --MagnusA (talk) 17:45, 1 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

I am sorry and will add the parameter. Today I globally created my bot user page on all languages in the project and have simply user {{bot}}, little things like this are to be dealt with now! :) ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 17:47, 1 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

See Steward_requests/Bot_status#Global_bot_status_for_User:Addbot, also per d:Wikidata:Wikidata_migration many projects still need their own approval. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 20:48, 1 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

I blocked you on huwiki for the period of one hour. Though your edits are absolutely useful you are flooding or recent changes page which makes it useless for our editors. You are going to get a bot right within a short time. I will let you know when you can continue. Thanks for your understanding. Csigabi (talk) 14:43, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Please see here where the bot was running for a trial. only 28 edits were performed. It would also be great if you could pop onto User:Addbot/Wikidata_Summary and provide a translated edit summary for hu! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 14:45, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Hallo. I suggest you use the following translation: "Bot: Migrating X interwiki links, now provided by Wikidata on d:qxxxxx" = Bot: X interwiki link migrálva a Wikidata d:qxxxxx adatába. I will unblock you now, so that you can continue with the rest of your 32 trial edits. Csigabi (talk) 15:02, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Thanks! I have added the edit summary to the bot and will continue the trial (roughly the same number of edits again). After this the bot will not edit until it has the bot flag! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 15:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Trial is now complete so you shouldn't see any further edits until the bot is approved. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 15:10, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Thank you, I really apologize for the temporary block, I thought it had been a runaway bot flooding our recent changes page. In the meantime I left a message on our Bureaucrats' noticeboard, that your bot rights should be granted as soon as possible. We really need your contribution. Cheers.

I see no problem of migrating iw's which actually mean deleting iw's from articles. What I would like is that at the same time you are doing a list of articles which do not have items on wikidata. If your bot can not do it, maybe it would be better to leave task of removing iw's to some bot which can be more helpful than yours, thank you! SpeedyGonsales (talk) 18:13, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

The bot is generating a database in the background of pages where it has left interwiki links (ie. conflicts and pages not on wikidata). I just need to build a web frontend for it and you will be able to access all of the infomation :) ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 18:15, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Please do so, don't leave it just in your DB as we will not like you in future if you will not do so. :D SpeedyGonsales (talk) 18:20, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Hehe, I will maybe have it done later today, if not it will have to be monday! I may also try and build a really simple API that wikidata bots could use to see where they need to import links from. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 18:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Hello, can you please check this change? maybe it's a bug or something: the bot left some interwikis behind, and for example didn't move the "eo" and there is not its interwiki on this wikidata entry; about "fr", did not delete "Demander un article" but it is on wikidata as "Articles à créer", and didn't delete "pt" "Artigos pedidos", but that interwiki is on wikidata entry.

Greetings and sorry if this message was confusing :) --UAwiki (talk) 18:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Not confusing at all! See User:Addbot#FAQ. The bot is currently only removing the links that are already on wikidata, other links and pages need to be added by other bots and by editors. The bot is building a database of these links have been left os that they can be added to wikidata! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 18:29, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

There is an anti-abuse filter active [1] in eswiki to prevent old interwiki bots re-add deleted iw links. Your bot triggered the filter many times. [2] --Kizar (talk) 19:06, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

For a while, could your bot removes interwikis if whole interwikis are moved to wikidata? Remaining interwikis are confusing and hard to check if the linked language is not familiar. Remaining interwikis should be handled by human. -- ChongDae (talk) 01:12, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Currently it will only remove interwiki links that are on wikidata, At the same time it is generating a database with where it has left interwiki links for all languages and soon there will be a web page where people can list articles that need human attention! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 01:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Still, many interwiki bots are running and adding interwikis. Remaining interwikis could spread by these bots. Could you schedule your work again? Removing interwiki is not urgent. -- ChongDae (talk) 01:58, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

And in many cases, remaining interwiki is deleted and/or redirected. If the link is deleted or redirected to the matching wikidata entry, could your bot removes these links, too? These remaining links are not need to check by human anymore. -- ChongDae (talk) 03:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Some bots are still adding links but this should all be fixed either now or tomorrow morning, if you see any adding all of the interwiki links back after a bot has removed them it would be great if you could link me to the diff here!

There are 22,000,000 articles to remove interwiki links from across all languages, To make life easier to find those links that are conflicting / deleted / sections etc. the plan is to remove every other interwiki link now. After this hopfully we will have a much shorter list of articles to do a second check on using the DB the bot is building and using an enhanced script trying to resolve conflicts, remove deleted links, e.t.c which uses much more processing power and time than the script currently running! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 03:21, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Hi, this fix made the Finnish translation a bit ungrammatical. I removed the colon, but the original text was better in my opinion (including the link to our local Wikidata instruction page instead of the overwhelming Wikidata front page). It is your bot, though. ;) --Silvonen (talk) 18:41, 7 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

On the English and Simple English Wikipedias, many articles have a comment right above the interwikis. The comment usually looks like one of these:

• <!--interwiki links-->

Hi there. I seem to have posted on your talk page on nv at the same time as you posted this message. You currently have 3500 pages on nvwiki that need interwiki links removing. Of course you can do this yourself of the addbot can leave yo with just a few pages left to check links on and fix conflicts. Soon there will be a webpage to show you exactly where these links are. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 01:22, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Yeah. We'll better do it ourselves; it's a good chance to check up on other things in the process. Also, I put the appropriate note on the list. Seb az86556 (talk) 01:24, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

Okay, please see the change I have made to nv:Choyoołʼįįhí:Addbot/iwrun this will stop the bot from trying to run even if you remove the block. When you feel you want the bot to run again please just remove the word 'false' from the page and the process will restart. It may be possible that I could make the bot only remove pages where all interwiki links would be removed on nv, would you be interested? ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 01:27, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Reply

"Final message, eh?" And now a coffin? :P Anyways, thanks for that, I'll "operate" your bot then.
