Makes sense, just make sure the call does not query all 270 languages at once, but on the need to know basis.

I prefer to make the API call and not to check by a list of languages.
Several reasons:
- It's more robust in general.
- Wikibase extension, as well as pywikipedia, can be used on other wikis,
too. 3. There are dark corners in Wikimedia wikis - non-standard codes, redirects, locked wikis, non-language wikis (Commons, Outreach etc.) It's possible that these are out of the bots' scope, but checking the API will still make it more robust.

That's a very interesting idea when i check this: http://fa.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=wikibase we can make a call for a bot to check every wiki but for now i think
there
is a very few wikis updated on wikidata so I don't think it's very good
idea
right now but for the future it's the only option so I'll work on it but
not
now
Best

We really ought to change it to dynamic:

If there is no error, wikibase is present, disable. This way no update
to
the blacklist is needed. The query should be re-issued every 30 min to
make
sure it hasn't changed.
The sad part is that interwiki bot needs to be significantly reworked,
so
there is no big incentive to do any changes like this to it. It should
be
aware of wikidata, remove all data unless it is not in wikidata, etc.
Lots
of heuristical changes.

I did this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/11073 so updated bots are not a concern anymore :) BTW:congrats.
