Discussion

Is it using the same code as on zh.wiki with the exception of where the target scans and target edits are?—cyberpower ^Chat_{Limited Access} 12:09, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes.--Makecat_Talk 00:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Are you planning to run both interwiki.py and redirect.py at once? If that is the case I'd advise you to create another BRFA for the second of the tasks. And which interwiki.py options will be used? Rcsprinter (message) 15:39, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

I have cancelled redirect.py since many bots run on it. I use interwiki.py to check recent created pages:"interwiki.py -new:100 -auto -async". On zhwiki, since edits are less frequent than enwiki, I also use "interwiki.py -recentchanges:100 -auto -async".--Makecat_Talk 00:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

 Approved. Standard interwiki; no issues. — The Earwig ^(talk) 00:57, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
