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.

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.
