Subject: bug with section titles in interwiki.py
Original description:
There is a bug with the interwiki.py script : when the bot finds out an interwiki-link which must be deleted \(without -force or -cleanup options\), and when this link is at the end of a section, the bot destroys the next section.

See this for example : http://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ヘンリー銃&diff=37754031&oldid=37738852
Although this diff is quite old, this bug is still present in the script \(I've made an try to check : see http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=70277802\).

bzimport set Reference to bz55234.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (????).

Upping the priority and assigning to myself at least for investigation purposes, this would seem to be a significant issue.

  • priority: 5 --> 7
  • assigned_to: nobody --> bewareofdoug

This is not affected by section titles but a new \(?\) mediawiki behaviour which does no longer interprets a link to the origin language as a language link, e.g. a link to \[\[fr:foo\]\] on a fr site is just a link.
