Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Merlijn S. van Deen (valhallasw) Assigned to: Daniel Herding (wikipedian) Summary: interwiki.py ignoring commented iw-links

Initial Comment: Quote:

:::::The "AI" I've been proposing for a while is simple: check whether the link is already on the page but has been commented out. That means human editors are aware the link target exists, but have made a conscious decision to not use it. Which is all the bot needs to know. Shouldn't be difficult to implement.

i.e. interwiki.py should check the page for existing interwiki links in the format <!--[[ru-sib:...]]-->

or check for a template in the form {{iwignore|[[ru-sib:...]]}}

which might be easier to implement.
