See some comments from bug 13996
I was told that my pywikipedia-based interwiki bot marks sighted versions as unsighted and vice versa. Is this related to the caching problems? An English-language summary of the new feature and its open problems would be very useful for interwiki bot owners... Or do we already have one? Discussion: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe_Diskussion:Gesichtete_und_gepr%C3%BCfte_Versionen#Information_in_English_for_bot_owners.3F Examples of incorrect bot behaviour on May 14 and 16: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schweizerpsalm&action=history http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main-Donau-Kanal&action=history
According to http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Weitsprung&action=history it has worked at some time in the past, so something changed after that date. FTR: Apart from SilvonenBot I noticed several other bots removing flags, and among the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen/Rechtevergabehttp://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen/Rechtevergabe request for new rights] there are several requests concerning bots. So it seems not to be a problem with this individual bot but either the bot software or the wiki software.
Link should be http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen/Rechtevergabe of course
I don't know if there is anything to fix in pywikipedia, but I submitted this in its bug tracker, too: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=1965820&group_id=93107
According to the wikibots-l mailing list, there was a bug in pywikipedia after all, but it didn't occur with older FlaggedRevs versions: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikibots-l/2008-May/000274.html
Closing, things are pretty quite now, no need for this tracking bug atm.
