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.
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
Danny B.
