editIs it using the same code as on zh.wiki with the exception of where the target scans and target edits are?—cyberpower ChatLimited Access 12:09, 14 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".--MakecatTalk 00:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
