As owner of interwiki bot i now see: Disabling of interwiki bots is about one row in source code of bot, depend how ofter owners update. So 1-2 days can disable many bots, the others shoud be blocked for a while
But there is problem now - other wikis still use classic intwrwiki links and on hu.wiki still remains these links - which are outdated and in some case with incorrect links too - and this causes interwiki conflicts on other wikis, because bots read links in this wiki, but cannot edit them. And on wikidata are oudtated data, because many new articles are created (moved and deleted) daily, but the most used platform - pywikipedia is not ready yet for wikidata. Bots should remove links on nonconflicted pages on hu.wiki and update wikidata too, but no one was able (or willing?) to write this feature since 30th october :-( In next days more and more wikis will be "locked" for interwiki bots, but these problems will remain minimally one week after this feature exists (one week is necessary for granting bot flag on wikidata - or should there be global bots allowed?)
