So, I’ve noticed a new bot and noticed it’s making some weird edits like this: http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Apologize-in-Business&diff=prev&oldid=9298898 It’s adding the interwiki link on the same line and I believe they were supposed to be on different lines. Since it’s new it might not be working right. Unless we’ve changed the way we use interwiki links, I’ll be fixing them, please tell me if we can keep the links on one line.

The interwiki links seem to work no matter where they end up, so it may not be a big deal, but I left His Royal Highness, kink of she/it bots, a message (that would be Chris Hadley, for the Non-She/it bot initiated.

Thanks for recognizing my official title, BR:slight_smile:I’ve just chatted with Gershon, the engineer who is developing this bot, and he’s setting it up so the links should now be added as a new line to the last line of the article. Hope this makes life a bit easier on patrollers!

That’s great, it wouldn’t hurt to coach anyone who seems to be changing the edits, since some of the links are different to ones that are being added, so it seems the bot is replacing broken links, as well as adding them. Try not to ask Chris questions on his talkpage, though, I find he has a penchant for throwing out big words I don’t understand, and that would be pendantic of him. I am checking the policy page to see if it is even allowed. The interwiki editors have been rearranging the interwiki links to alphabetical order, and most often, the final line is where they are inserting them, so it would appear the preferred position would be after the Sources and Citations (if there are any), if not, after the Related wikiHows, or if there are neither, after the last subsection that appears on the page?

Yes, that’s a good place for the links - basically, below whatever is the last visible content on the page. Some of the people who help us keep tabs on the international projects are a bit OCD (hi, Ciccio!), and they prefer to alphabetize the links. While that’s a tidy way to organize them, it’s not necessary.

I just found that and didn’t know what else to do but post. Apologize if there’s an error 8=)
