I would like to request a new parameter for interwiki.py, namely the option to skip years and dates, including categories for years, deaths and births. These are articles and categories that exist in dozens and dozens of languages, and whenever the bot encounters some it takes ages to get through them, and it almost never finds anything new. We already have -days and -years parameters for working specifically on these, and I would like to request adding the opposite: -nodays and -noyears. Is someone able to implement that?
There is parameter -skipauto. Numbers and years are defined in date.py, you can try to write your own patch on this base.

Ooh, that's awesome! I wasn't aware of it for some reason. Disregard this, then. :-)
