Discussion[edit]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Standard interwiki.py, trial to make sure everything has been implemented okay for this case. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 22:28, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, removing the log parameter, else the log become quite large quite quickly. The Helpful One 22:45, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. - just under 50 edits. The Helpful One 18:33, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the script continued to run on the cron tab (did another 10-15 edits) - should have stopped now. The Helpful One 19:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any problematic edits in the trial run, but I'll let a BAG'er more expert than me with interwikis to approve the task. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 19:53, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The removal at Tenkovo is incorrect. I suspect this is because the link is to sr:Tenkovo, which seems to automatically redirect to sr:Тенково, although the API does not pick up on this (see this query). Either way, I think you may be better off running without -cleanup, unless you're willing to check all removals. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 20:02, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay - I will run it without the -cleanup parameter, else it would create a lot of work to review all of those edits. The Helpful One 20:07, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Everything checks out. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 20:29, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
