Summary: Given links to nonexistent wikis stop bot on non-Wikipedias
Initial Comment:
On the German Wiktionary for example there sometimes are given links to nonexistent wikis like wikt:fur:, wikt:ilo, wikt:nov or wikt:sco! Instead of just ignoring (or removing) those, the bot stops by showing an error message ("nonexistent wiki blabla")!

Summary: Incorrect removal of Chinese interwiki link
Initial Comment:
I was warned by a user that a interwiki link was incorrectly removed by my bot.
I manually ran the bot against the affected article:
interwiki.py -lang:en -family:wikipedia Japanese_literature
In the end, it says:
NOTE: [[zh:????]] does not exist
Changes to be made: Removing: [[zh:????]]
ERROR: Found incorrect link to zh in [[en:Japanese literature]]
Submit? ([y]es, [n]o)
I tried clicking on the original interwiki link and it is working: the page does exist. The removal is not right.

The problem is caused by the Chinese traditional (zh-tw)/simplified
(zh-cn) double orthography.
The page links to [[zh:日本文學]], but if you go to the page, you'll
see you actually end up at [[zh:日本文学]]. This is the same in
simplified instead of traditional characters, and when you try to go to a
page in traditional characters, you are automatically taken to its
simplified equivalent (under standard settings).
Unfortunately, the same does NOT occur when using [[Special:Export]].
That's what the bot uses, and when there a traditional title is given, no
page is found. Because of this the bot assumes the page does not exist. I
have earlier submitted this for correction in MediaWiki, but it doesn't
seem likely it will actually be solved there anytime soon (see
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9419).

Summary: zh interwikis
Initial Comment:
interwiki.py seems to encounter problems fetching zh: interwikis.
Last stack line is :
WARNING: No text area found on zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E5%92%92%E8%AF%AD%E5%8A%9B%E9%87%8F&act…. Maybe the server is down. Retrying in 4 minutes...
And the linked page prints
"拒绝访问

According to the following reasons, you have no authority to do the following actions:

The fact is that it tries over and over, and time between 2 retries are longer and longer (30 minutes !).
This zh issue should get fixed, but also, I think that some -maxwait parameter should be added. I run interwiki.py on a distant server, and I only check its state once or twice a day : I can't afford to wait 30 minutes between two edits, when the run is unattended... :)

The bot uses the edit page to get the page content. This problem arises
when trying to get a non-existant page. The bot should, in this case,
identify the message and know the page does not exist, and not wait anymore
- the fact it doesn't is the bug which should be fixed. I will look at that
later.

What I think is going on, is that the bot came to an error on
[[Special:Export]]. In that case, the bot will go by the pages one by one
via the edit pages.

The answer to this is :
*the page you tried to edit, %E5%92%92%E8%AF%AD%E5%8A%9B%E9%87%8F
(咒语力量), does not exist
*I tried editing an new page there while anonymous, and got the same
message as you. But it worked when I tried to edit with my normal account.
So apparently, you have to be at "autoconfirmed" level (account older than
4 days) to be allowed to edit.
I guess your account was younger than 4 days at that time.
The true problem, then is knowing why interwiki.py tried to edit a
non-existant page (bad url formation ? the 2nd ideogram seems incorrect)

Summary: Asked to follow a diambig before using redirect
Initial Comment:
Interwiki.py asked if I wanted to follow a disambiguation page ([[nl:Ras]]) after a redirect to a suitable non-disambiguation page ([[nl:Menselijk ras]]) was found. It should have followed the redirect before asking:
Getting 57 pages from wikipedia:nl...
[...]
NOTE: [[nl:Ras (mensheid)]] is redirect to [[nl:Menselijk ras]]
[[Ras]]: [[nl:Ras (mensheid)]] gives new redirect [[nl:Menselijk ras]]
WARNING: [[sv:Ras]] doesn't seem to be a disambiguation page, but [[nl:Ras]] is one. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]dd an alternative)

Problem with this is that at the moment [[nl:Ras]] is checked,
[[nl:Menselijk ras]] has not been loaded yet. Thus, the bot does not know
whether it is a disambiguation page or not. In my opinion, changing this
would be more trouble than it's worth.

Initial Comment:
I have had several cases the last few months that the bot, when doing disambiguations, saved only the beginning of the text. Compared to the total number of edits it's not very often (maybe one in 20,000 or so), but it's a serious bug that has gotten people justifiably worried at my bot.

Summary: removing valid interwiki
Initial Comment:
There is one problem:
there are articles in another language in another namespace (typically es:Anexo:... for sport events or fi:Wikipedia:English Wikipedia for articles of wikipedia or some pages in nmespaces Wikipedia x Help x Portal ...)
when I run bot with -autonomous, it skip these limks
when I run with -autonomous -force, bot remove these valid links.
without -auonomous I must confirm every article
Try run bot
-start:anexo:A -lang:es -autonomous => bot skip everything

This is caused by Anexo: being a separate namespace on es:, but the same
thing (lists, if I recall correctly) being in the main namespace on other
languages. Maybe we should have some kind of list in the family file to say
which namespaces may be connected.
However, even if that is done: I would strongly advise NOT to combine
-autonomous with -force. This will cause too many deletions in cases where
instead of deletion there should be a change (Chinese traditional
orthography, pages that were valid pages but are now disambiguation pages).

Summary: removing valid interwiki
Initial Comment:
There is one problem:
there are articles in another language in another namespace (typically es:Anexo:... for sport events or fi:Wikipedia:English Wikipedia for articles of wikipedia or some pages in nmespaces Wikipedia x Help x Portal ...)
when I run bot with -autonomous, it skip these limks
when I run with -autonomous -force, bot remove these valid links.
without -auonomous I must confirm every article
Try run bot
-start:anexo:A -lang:es -autonomous => bot skip everything
