Summary: Add a new option to interwiki.py
Initial Comment:
Hello,
When working on years or birth categories for instance, I give a huge number of hints.
And I now these hint are right (when they exist).
If there is a wrong link somewhere (e.g. en:category:2000_deaths linking to fr:category:naissance_en_2000), I get a huge number of questions to which I always answer "1" (because the hint is proposed first).
So I propose to create a new option "-hintisright" (or something).
In that case, if there is a conflict between a hint and other page(s), the hint is selected automatically.

Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
But I do not think the -localright parameter does what I need.
I do not want to modify the local page because I do not want to add links
that do not exist (yet).
I am 100% sure the hint "fr:category:décès_en_2000" (for
"en:category:2000_deaths") is right if it exists, but it might not exist
yet.
Since the code for -localright exists, maybe the code for -hintisright can
be easily implemented.
Best regards,

Hint: You can also solve the problem by inserting all the hints in the
starting page, and use the -localright parameter. If you are uncertain that
you got all, use -confirm and you will be able to interrupt the bot when it
comes accross a missing link which it tries to delete.
