Rukhabot=Interwicket?

A few questions (I probably already know some of the answers):

  • Does Rukhabot use the same code as Interwicket?
  • Does Rukhabot apply the same rules as Interwicket:
    • links between pages with exactly the same title (equal strings)
    • redirections considered as ordinary pages for the purpose of interwiki links (i.e. there may be a link between a normal page and a redirect)?
  • Are all wiktionaries read by Rukhabot?
  • Will Rukhabot also be used on other wiktionaries (if given the bot status)? Which ones?

Rukhabot does not use the same code as Interwicket.
Rukhabot applies the same overall rules as Interwicket, including the details that you mention, but it does differ in some details. (For example, this edit of Interwicket's added bn: between ar: and zh-min-nan:, whereas Rukhabot would have added it between zh-min-nan: and bs:.) I hope that it is the same in all respects that matter.
Rukhabot reads every Wiktionary's "all-titles-in-ns0.gz" file (a plain-text list of mainspace pages, including both entries and redirects), but only for the English Wiktionary does it read the full "pages-articles.xml.bz2" files (an XML file contents of mainspace and some non-mainspace pages). It does not try to keep up with any Wiktionary's Special:RecentChanges or Special:NewPages or whatnot.
At the moment, I have no plans to run Rukhabot on any other Wiktionaries; but in a few weeks, if all seems to be well, and the code is in a halfway-decent shape, I'll make it available for other Wiktionarians to run. (Actually, even right now, if someone wanted to run it on their own Wiktionary, I could send them the current code; but they'd be on their own. It's not in a support-able state right now; they'd just need to figure out my undocumented, half-written Perl code.)
