Wikipedia (don't forget interwiki.py) because you might see some
unexpected behaviour or just crashes tomorrow.
One thing I noticed is that the bot does not 'see' that it has been
unable to edit. This means that the -limittwo and -whenneeded options
of interwiki.py are not working correctly at the moment - the bot will
edit the home wiki and _think_ it has edited the English wiki. I might
be the only one using these, but if not, I advise other uses to switch
these options off for a day.
