Make sure you read WP:INTERWIKIBOT. Which namespaces will you edit? What pywikipedia options are you using? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 09:28, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have read it. I use the interwiki.py script. And i will edit on articles, categories, and templates.--Avocato (talk) 03:19, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What pywikipedia options (parameters/command line options) are you using? How does the bot handle the template interwikis on the documentation pages? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 06:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why all these questions man?! We don,t ask all these questions in Arabic Wikipedia (i,m an Admin there). My edits would be similar to my 50 test edits. Any way, i will use:

"interwiki.py -autonomous -start:! -skipauto"

"interwiki.py -autonomous -new:! -skipauto"

I didn,t understand the second question.--Avocato (talk) 15:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I asked only two default questions about interwiki.py; then an additional clarification since you are going to edit templates. English Wikipedia has a different syntax for template interwiki links, which is why I wanted to confirm that the bot would respect this syntax. This is pointed out in WP:INTERWIKIBOT, which you said you have read. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a misunderstanding; I meant by saying: "I didn,t understand the second question" that the question wasn,t clear for me in English language. I will supervise my bot when it runs in Template namespace; In order to make sure that it properly placed interwiki in the appropriate documentation subpage section, or non-included portion of the template. Here is an example for my edits in templates. Sorry for my bad English.--Avocato (talk) 19:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see you already did some edits before trial, and they seem fine. Now then, Approved for trial (10 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Please edit ≈10 more templates that contain interwiki links in the documentation subpage just to be sure. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:43, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry sir; The bot refuses doing any edits in the documentation subpage (I don't know why). But it did some not bad edits in templates that don't contains documentation subpage (Like this and this for examples). Any way, The bot did good edits in the documentation subpages in Arabic Wikipedia (Like this and this). any way, It won't do any wrong edits on interwikis.--Avocato (talk) 23:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
