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).

Actually when wikidata is running on all wikis we only have to remove the iw-links inside all articles of the same wikidata item. The bots will not have any base for adding the links again and wont do it anymore.

That's a very interesting idea when i check this:
http://fa.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=wikibase
<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:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=wikibase>
    (thanks duh)

    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.
