The faster you allow them to edit, the faster two

I don't know what freaky bots you work with, but as far as I know,
Skynet does not edit wikipedia (yet...)
I think I've seen interwiki bots warring, though over a long and
diffuse timescale; one rationalises a dozen links and drops one; the
other adds it back in and resorts; repeat.
Actual edit-warring, though, between bots shouldn't be too hard to
prevent with a bit of code, surely? "If you have edited this page in
the last n hours, don't".
