Even bots on different wikis will have a large overlap. Perhaps we should restrict not-'selected' interwiki bots to running with -back set (for autonomous runs on the main namespace of Wikipedia, because I think that that's where most bots are active)? -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list ([email protected]) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
