Pywikipediabot has case sensitivity set up on the project level, not
on the bot level. If there are some that work correctly (and there
are), then all will work correctly. Besides that, most interwiki bots
will run on all languages of one project rather than various projects,
so interwiki bots for other projects would normally not come to
wiktionary to edit there.
