Initial Comment:
in pl.wikt we do not link to ru.wikt. a new option is required -nonewlink (or simillar). It should work like -neverlink but having a list of languages it should leave already present iw links and not add new links from selected languages. Examples: having iw.links in article:
[[aa:test]] [[bb:test]] [[cc:test]]
and -nonewlink:bb argument the result should be:
1. bb:test exist
[[aa:test]] [[bb:test]] [[cc:test]]
2. bb:test does not exist:
[[aa:test]] [[cc:test]]
regardless of the iw links from other languages.

Message:
Closing this issue as "Rejected". Pywikipediabot is not to be used as a
tool for politics. If you insist in having your bot behave differently from
the standards, I advise you to make a local patch, and not allow bots that
run the normal implementation on your wiki (sounds ridiculous yet?). This
will not be implemented in pywikipediabot.

Message:
Is it allowed by the foundation? Anyway, I would suggest not to encourage
this approach by bot.

Sorry, why don't you link to ru.wikt?
That sounds absolutely ridiculous to me.
