Summary: interwiki.py note gives wrong count

Initial Comment:
Interwiki.py, when started up, ays something like:

NOTE: Number of pages queued is 0, trying to add 255 more.

If you specify parameters -number:10 and -query:255, it displays "add 255 more", but then only adds 10.

I have not tested that, but likely, limiting -array: will have a similar effect.

So, better interwiki.py should first compute how many pages are to be added this time, then display the figure, instead of doing it the other way round.

Message:
I understand it as "TRYING to add 255 more" (sic). It tried to get 255 but
it may get less. That's my interpretation.
