Message: In no case should a bot destroy data, especially not if the reasoning behind it is 'the software cannot cope with it'. A double interwiki might be wrong from a MediaWiki/pwb perspective, but it is *not* wrong from a content perspective. As such, they should simply be left alone.

Message: MediaWiki also could not handle double interwiki to the same site. It only saves one link into its database and only one link is reachable via api or database request. Unless this is not changed by MediaWiki's behavior I do propose not to changed bot's behavior.

Message: Double interwiki in page is incorrect - interwiki bot cannot handle it and it makes problem for them.
