Explain to me again why I want a bot that has this kind of stuff hard-coded and difficult to change running against our server.

Actually, it isn't that hard to change, I realize now... If ever you decide to change this 'wiki' on some Wikitravel, all we have to do is move the 'wiki' from one variable to another. Not more work than the change from the en.wikipedia.org to the www.wikitravel.org/en syntax would be if it had gone as I thought (and hoped) it would go. So, forget about this warning.

As to why you would like to use it: Ask Pierre Abbat.

And as to why these things are hardcoded: The bot was developped for Wikipedia, and in general in the simplest way possible. If you can tell me now what we want from it in one year, we might choose a different model now rather than having to reverse-engineer later. If not, I'll just keep with our existing 'model'.
