Message: It is open, what you see is Valhallasw changing the close_date to none when he essentially reversed xqt's change of the same day. I've increased the priority and removed assignment to xqt as his last action was to close it as "Wont Fix", so there's no reason to believe that he's actually working on this. Last I knew interwiki.py did the same thing. Is that the same issue? I mean does cosmetic_changes.py get the removal function from interwiki.py or is the same code at least. We have a work around on ws (where double and triple interwikis are common) though it really means skipping such pages.

Message: 1. Is this issue is "Open" ? Ask, because on this page I see "close_date 2010-06-09 00:36"

2. If it "Open" please increase priority, or provide workaround.

3. s this problem with "standardizePageFooter" module ? If yes, which line should I comment as workaround ?

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.
