Is anybody interested in running interwiki bots in Wikivoyage projects? On Russian Wikivoyage, we have adopted the standard bot policy (and became the first Wikivoyage project to do so), but we do not have anybody in the project who has an interwiki bot.
Today, I had to fix manually interwiki links in a number of articles on Russian, English, German, and Dutch versions, and found them pretty much in the state of disorder.
Cheers Yaroslav
What about using Wikidata? They are supposedly taking care of interwiki links. Not exactly sure how but supposedly it is easier.

Not sure what wikidata has to do with anything, but the standard way to generate interwiki links is to install pywikipediabot, a bundle of Python scripts which includes interwiki.py to perform exactly this task. There should be info on botwiki.sno.cc

Currently, Wikidata does not handle any interwiki links other than Wikipedia. (They may add them on stage 2, which was not yet deployed). As Carl mentioned, writing an interwiki bot is not difficult, and also there are plenty of those already around, it is just that I do not have sufficient expertise myself.

You could ask https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Interwiki_bot_MMP or any of the global bots https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsers?group=Global_bot
