Bots aren't sentient so they can act stupidly. There are situations where
you have a bad interwiki link. Unless that is removed from every single
instance where it forms a chain it will eventually return to the list (which
makes sense, the bots think the wrong link as a new member to the chain).
However if all interwiki bots were able to operate on all wikis such
problems could be very easily avoided.

Either way there is a need for an interwiki bot

fix otherwise as you point out two interwiki bots
may end up reverting

other. Had either bot had permission to edit each
wiki this problem

have been avoided.
Reverting each other? No, why would they? I don't understand what
situation you mean.
