We really ought to communicate with the bot owners to significantly modify their bots. It might even make sense to stop them all together until they can be re-designed to take wikidata into account. I could post a comment on most boards to ask IW bots to stop (and to notify the local communities that they should monitor IW bots changes and halt them).
Bot owners on en:wp have been notified. I'm happy to work with you on a message to more of them. Let's do that off-list to keep the traffic down if you want.
