Yeah, all you need to do is remove the incorrect links from all affected articles.
You sorta did that with -localright. however that just fixed the correct article but still left some articles pointing to the wrong article. you need to fix every article, as long as one page has the wrong link it will be propagated back

Hello,
Recently we have found a case of incorrect interwiki entry linking [[:pl:Aktywizm]] describing philosophical concept with family of the articles on other Wikipedias regarding political activism.
This was a human mistake and it was reverted later. However, there seems to be no way to tell all the interwiki bots running to stop re-adding this removed link to articles.
I have added {{nobots}} on the Polish and English Wikipedia to prevent spreading of incorrect linking. I have tried from time to time to use my own pywikipedia bot to remove the link (using -localright option) and the result is the following:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ro/wiki/Activism?action=history
(Saperka is my script)
I spoke with the owner of WikitanvirBot and we have stopped it for a while completely to allow the "undo" script run and remove the links. Unfortunately, some other bot ( https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ro/w/index.php?title=Activism&dif... ) changed the link again.
It seems like it is not possible to revert one mistake unless ALL running interwiki bots will be stopped by their owners. Sounds like an overkill (and imagine coordinating this!).
Is there some way interwiki.py could be improved (I know it should be all different architecture) or some other way to handle this
- one could imagine - simple case?
Or are we now overtaken by robots beyond our control? :)

On 22nd somebody readded those links manually because article was reconstructed.
But earlier, after this revert:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/pl/w/index.php?title=Aktywizm&dif...
I tried to use pywiki interwiki.py to remove 'pl' by making sure [[en:Activism]] has no pl: link (enforced by {{nobots}}), [[pl:Aktywizm]] has no interwiki links (enforced by {{nobots}}) and running interwiki.py -localright poiting to en:Activism to remove it on all other wikis. But this got reverted again in few minutes by the bots running.
Sure, after this:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/pl/w/index.php?title=Aktywizm&dif...
you can't reproduce this anymore, but this is pretty strange.

Of course, the right way to solve this problem once and for all is to fix bug 15607 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15607
Installing the Interlanguage extension will revolutionize the way humans fight bots.
What is currently stopping the developers from implementing it?
Dear All,
I have used two dumps from english Wikipedia as below, the count results turn out like this, Would you please let me know which one is completed and can be analyzed? and I am confused why the 2001-2009 had different number? Thanks very much !!!!!!
select count (1), to_char(rev_timestamp,'YYYY') from enwiki.revision group by to_char(rev_timestamp,'YYYY') order by (to_char(rev_timestamp,'YYYY'))
