The M468 and REC7 are not the same rifle

German articles for Polish places and municipalities

German Wikipedia mostly has one common article for Polish Gminy and their central towns or villages. Therefore you mustn't destroy links from English "Gmina Name"-articles to German "Name"-Articles.--Ulamm (talk) 17:05, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I know this, but the problem is that the links from these German articles lead to articles about towns/villages. Thus we have interwiki-conflicts and this causes that links are not updated anymore by bots. As German articles concentrate more about town/villages than about Gminas, IMO it is better to keep them together with a cluster about towns/villages than with a cluster about Gminas. I hope you understand the problem. --DixonD (talk) 17:10, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

There are lots of topics, where special articles of one wikipedia are chapters of one arcticle in another wikipedia. You ought to modify your bot, so that it tolerates unidirectional linkages.--Ulamm (talk) 20:46, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

You should point then to the specific section but not to the whole page. It is not an issue of my bot. No bot can update links properly because and you can see it from page histories of all those similar articles. --DixonD (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Redundant wikicode

Hi, with this edit and this one the bot has closed a </includeonly> and opened a <includeonly> - the two are redundant. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:48, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks, actually I'm aware of it. I use standard pywikipedia library and this is an issue of textlib.replaceLanguageLinks. Do you think it is important enough to stop the bot and have it fixed before the bot runs again? --DixonD (talk) 14:57, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't know. I would certainly inform the people who provided this "standard pywikipedia library" (which I have never used myself) and get their advice. Whenever I have maintained interlanguage links, I've always done it manually. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:07, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
