Two orthographies have been fought over at the Belarussian Wikipedia, with the effect now being that the pages that used to be at be.wikipedia.org now are at be-x-old.wikipedia.org, and a new Wikipedia has been started at be.wikipedia.org.
To deal with this with the bot, apart from adding the language be-x-old I have made the following changes to the interwiki.py bot:
1. If an interwiki to be: is found, the bot will also check the page in the same title on be-x-old. 2. If an interwiki to be-x-old: exists or is added, removing a link to be: is not considered a 'controversial' edit, and thus will be done without the need of using -force or explicitly agreeing, and even in autonomous mode.
I do find there is a problem trying to login my bot on http://be-x-old.wikipedia.org; I hope that one of the MediaWiki developers can help me there.

This seems to have been resolved. I am now starting a bot-run on be-x-old to start correcting these links.
