Today we reached at nl-wiki the situation that + 64% of the interwikiconflicts 
have been solved. A lot of this work has been done by the Dutch community, but 
also a lot of work is done by users form other projects, thank you very much 
for the help!

I have checked the complete template namespace and category namespace for local 
interwiki's and all are removed from these pages, so these namespaces are now 
clean on nl-wiki. If users from especially smaller Wikipedia's want to know on 
what pages of their wiki are local interwikis left, you can use AWB, download 
the latest databasedump and do a query on that dump. If you want to know what 
query you need exactly, e-mail me personally as the string of the query is a 
bit long. But it is even for noobs on bots and codes easy to do. (I can also do 
it for you.)

With doing all this solving of interwikiconflicts, we came across several 
things:
* A lot of biological conflicts are in our list of interwikiconflicts. Certain 
genus do only have one species under it, what makes some Wikipedias make that 
together one article, while others want two articles as it are two layers in 
the taxonomical tree. One article on the English Wikipedia that created 
hundreds of interwikiconflicts was a list to which many redirects were linking 
which were used for interwikis. All have been removed with a bot.

* Another thing we notice is that a lot of renamings of articles to make place 
for a disambiguation page haven't been proparly executed, as on Wikidata in an 
item of a group of articles, one of the links was to a disambiguation page. (It 
would be nice if a bot could check for disambiguation pages (based on the 
presence of a template from [[MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage]] on that wiki in 
it) so that we know where we need to fix this.)

* Another thing we see is that a lot of interwikis are still local because the 
local interwiki links to a page that is a redirect because the page was 
renamed, while this wasn't changed by a bot. Most interwikibots do not 
recognize that the redirect is the same page as the one added to Wikidata. So 
we need a bot to remove all interwikis that link to a redirect linking to a 
page that is in the same item as the page where the local interwikis are in.


Let's clean this mess up!
