[edit] Motivation

Someone on IRC said that this particular set of interwikis is in bad shape.

[edit] Key Questions

For those that don't exist or return bad page status values when accessed, or which have no page title, can those issues be fixed with a bot?

[edit] Potential Costs

Don't ask me, ask http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bot_requests
