Hi!
I recently started using my bot again (after some time), and was delighted
to discover that featured.py now places the {{Link FA|xx}} templates next to
the interwiki link to that language instead of above all the interwikis
(AFAIR that was not the case a few years ago). However, interwiki.py does
not cooperate with this, and when it finds a {{Link FA|xx}} template in the
interwiki section of a page, it moves it to above the interwikis. This, as
you understand, voids the improved behaviour of featured.py. For example,
see [1] vs [2].
Unfortunately I don't know enough python to fix this myself, but I would
like to suggest that (1) interwiki.py, when it finds them, places the {{Link
FA|xx}} templates next to the [[xx:Yyy]] links, like featured.py does, and
that (2) featured.py places all {{Link FA|xx}} templates it finds next to
their respective [[xx:Yyy]] links, and not just the one it is currently
working on. (As you can see from [2] there are previous {{Link FA}}
templates there as well, and the result after a few rounds of featured.py
and then interwiki.py can be a bit messy, see [3].) It would also be good if
featured.py would change the English names of the templates to the localized
versions where they exist (e.g. Link FA -> Link UA and Link GA -> Link AA
for Norwegian).
I hope these requests aren't too difficult to fix; as I know very littel
python I don't really know what it would take to fix them, unfortunately.
