Hi folks,

sometimes I found sth. like {{nobots|Xqbot}} which is similar to 
{{bots|deny=Xqbot}}. Maybe it should be implemented (I've done it for my 
working copy).

An other idea I've tested on my working copy is {{nobots|<scriptname>}} which 
could prevent running some scripts on a given page like interwiki but enables 
other bot scripts working.

Greetings
xqt
