Hello all !
Some Wikimedia projects have been using custom namespaces for some articles, such as the Spanish 102 (Anexo) namespace, used for lists. This created interwiki links between articles with different namespace numbers (cross namespace interlanguage links). This feature was not yet supported in interwiki.py, where a mismatch between two interwiki namespaces caused the link to be removed from the home wiki when using -force ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailing_at_the_2000_Summer_Olympic... for example). Since revision 5614, these links are fully supported.
We are concerned about consistency between bots running older versions of our framework, and bots using a version newer than r5614, since this may cause links to those special namespaces to be removed by the former while the latter could insist on adding them, leading to unnecessary confusion.
** In short ** : All interwiki.py users, please update your local copy of our framework to a version newer than revision 5614. The latest snapshot available ( at http://toolserver.org/~valhallasw/pywiki/ ) includes those recent changes, if you don't use SVN.
Thanks for your time,
