Just a small technical note: I think the MMP name should rather be something like "interwikibot" as "interwiki" is more common term than langlinks (although that's the name of db table I know...). So I would advocate for renaming right now before it even starts...
Kind regards

Hello all,
in 3h the 15th of May will be over and with it the time span you (the TS- users) have had to organize and create a MMP for future interwiki-bot-running. No process was done (even after a few users sent mails to the mailinglist) and so it is up to me now to handle the situation: I created the MMP "langlinksbot" now. Only this MMP is allowed to run (non-testing) interwiki- bots on the toolserver. If you run a interwiki-link-bot on the TS, please stop it now because it is against the rules to run it; there will be time until Sunday 24:00 UTC to do it yourself, after Sunday the roots will disable bots when they find them. To let the TS not be completely interwiki-bot-less, I added Toto Azéro as the only member of the MMP. I will not add other users at the moment; organize it first!
To summarize again which bots are NOT affected:
- Any bot that does not interwiki(/langlink)-links, or
- bots that run only for short time, or
- bots which are run by other MMPs
Sincerely, DaB.
