For a bot using api only it is impossible to detected if a wikimedia project is closed and/or locked. Language links to a project A should be added at other projects only if project A is open. But the wiki project status is not requestable using siteinfo e.g. http://mo.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general . The only difference is that you always get an error after sending an edit request. But thats to late especially if you don't want to edit project A itself.
