Hoi, As there isno independence, this bot can function in the first place. I cannot reconfigure the bot either. Also when a wiktionary is excluded, it will be probably removed everywhere. This is imho NOT a good idea. The Vietnamese have a current problem that will get fixed. Having all their interwiki links removed is imho a BAD idea. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, When my bot is blocked on one Wiktionary it does not work at all any more. The way it is configured is that it works on all projects at all times. This is completely different from how it works on the Wikipedia projects. It is also why one guy can run this as a service. Thanks, Gerard

If your bot were blocked on a given wiki all that would happen is that
your
bot could no longer edit their entries. Your bot could still get data
from
that wiki, and it could still write that data to all other
wikis. Sounds
like a painless control over the bot, and one that any wiki which
doesn't
want that interwiki data should use. How do you figure that either
solution
will actually affect the process as a whole, anyway?
Then reconfigure it so that its operation can be blocked on a project that doesn't want it. In the interest of autonomy of projects, a particular Wiktionary should be able to block it the way it blocks any other user.
