Hello all, in nearly 2 months it will not longer be allowed to run most langlink-bots (aka interwiki-bots) on the toolserver for nearly all of you (see my old mail below for details). To make it official I added a new rule 9.4 to our rule-page short time ago and send this mail also to -announced. The new rule forbids the running of any langlink-bot on the toolserver with the following 2 exceptions: *The bot is run by the MMP interwiki-bot (or however it will be called at the end), *The bot runs only for limited time (!=continuous) or testing.
Until now, no building of the needed MMP has taken place AFAIK, so I would recommend to speed that up so there will be a MMP until 1. March. Sincerly, DaB.
