The user interface / configuration of these wikis is iritating because it is (as
for [[tokipona:]]) neither possible to create an account, edit etc.

At least the [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] should inform about this.

I want to mention this here but probably it is another bug related to the
interwiki bot.
Because some time past after the last changes at these wikis interlanguage links
can cause conflicts.
I am not aware if pywikipediabot handles this or not.

Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
