Category: interwiki Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Askar Safin (safinaskar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: It is not easy to delete interwiki Initial Comment: I think PyWikipedia Interwiki Bot works with interwikies badly. If someone deletes interwiki, the bot adds it back (but it is not right behavior). See more details on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Avicennasis/MainArchive/2012Q2#Your_… . P. S. I don't use the bot, so I cannot include output of "python version.py" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2012-06-10 07:34 Message: This bug is WONTFIX, right?

Why? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: xqt (xqt) Date: 2012-06-10 07:02 Message: Right. All wrong interwiki must be removed on all projects. You may ask a bot owner to do it for you. Otherwise the links are comming again (maybe WikiData helps a bit in future). Another possibility is to comment out the wrong link like <!-- [[ru:B]] --> If at all I guess this is a wont-fix bug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Askar Safin (safinaskar) Date: 2012-06-08 11:39 Message: I don't mean "en:A links to ru:B, and ru:B links to en:C" I mean "en:A links to ru:B, ru:B links to en:A, but this interwikis are wrong, so some human deleted en:A->ru:B, but some bot added it again, and this is wrong" Do you understand me? You can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Avicennasis/MainArchive/2012Q2#Your_… for details (year, I posted this link third time) or you can see history of page en:Thrashing_(computer_science) and all its interwikis (i already fixed them manually) As far as I know, if a human deleted not all interwikis, pywikipedia bot will add them again in any mode (auto. and semi-auto.). Am I right? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: xqt (xqt) Date: 2012-06-08 07:26 Message: Ok, I see. This occures, when bot owners semi-automatically fix interwiki links only parts of the graph groups and do not run the bot for the rest. Automatic running bots will get an interwiki conflict and leave the room. Maybe this (sh/c)ould be solved but I guess this is not trivial. Anyway I guess this won't be fixed since we expect WikiData which enforces the whole behaviour must be changed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Askar Safin (safinaskar) Date: 2012-06-08 05:58 Message: This IS wrong behavior. Consider real situation on my link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Avicennasis/MainArchive/2012Q2#Your_… . There was 11 articles with interwikies to each other. But 4 of them are unrelated with 7 other. So I had to manually remove all unnecessary interwikies. So, I edited all this 11 articles and cleaned up all inerwikies on them. This is very bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: xqt (xqt) Date: 2012-06-07 07:40 Message: This occures when not all wrong interwiki links are removed by hand from the hole interwiki graph. I doesn't see any wrong behaviour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=353271…
