Attention for what? Anyway, seems useful to get a few bots running on this already. I am not sure what sort of snafus could arise, if any. -166.137.210.34 (talk) 15:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A trial would be nice :) ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 15:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I'll trial this, but since I proposed a variation of the implementation, I'll leave approval to someone else. MBisanz ^talk 17:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete., please see these edits. I have added a log page for the bot which detects interwikis not currently on wikidata. After approval on EN I will also create a Wikidata bot to add any interwikis not already there. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 14:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
