Summary: interwiki.py removing page text
Initial Comment:
Following edit on NL-disamb. page, the page got emptied, only the interwiki link remained.
Interwiki.py should not have touched the page in the first place, since the interwiki link
was already set earlier.

At the moment: no. In theory, the special:export function could probably be
replaced by one or more API calls, but I have no reason to assume this
actually solves the problem...

Can you force the script to use API to get the page text?

Message:
I did some more testing, using
python interwiki.py -lang:de
-page:Blankenbach%20%28Begriffskl%C3%A4rung%29 -async -cleanup -auto
-async
note that these findings are not necessarily true for running on full
auto...
in this setup, the bot ALWAYS uses special:export to get page text. It
does use the API to write the pages. It only retrieves the pages ONCE, at
the start of the run.
sigh.

Pffff, I believe it was:
interwiki.py -all -async -cleanup -log -auto -start:
I would think I used -ns:0 also, nut sure.

Last note for tonight: quickly reviewing the diff to r9500 (2011-09-03) did
not yield anything really change. Note: I did this in one bunch. Reviewing
commits from the mailinglist one at a time might still be a good plan...

Last three edits of interwiki.py are all quite old:

do not follow static redirects which means do not change the target links
like -noredirect does (with -cleanup option. -force removes that link -
maybe this should be fixed)

Increasing priority, rephrased title.
