I'd be happy if my code could be useful to others. sync.py helps synchronizing different wikis. It goes through a bunch of namespaces and creates an overview of pages that are different, this is already useful for Templates and MediaWiki but especially useful when dealing with semantic mediawiki, where a lot of the functionality lives in namespaces such as Property, Type and Form. linkreports.py creates a page with a table of broken links, first date, last date and error message. I also wrote a little PHP frontend that lets people run a pywikipediabot replace script \(it's for folks who can't or don't want to use anything on a commandline\). This can probably live on its own on github, but it might be a bit too custom at this point and I'd like to have some comments on it. This PHP frontend is available at https://github.com/guaka/phpfrontforpywikibot It's pretty rough still but releasing it forces me to think about the public release when adding more functionality. I'm not sure how to proceed with getting sync.py and linkreports.py in the official repo. Shall I just put them up on github so you can take a look? I'm looking forward to your ideas.

Didn't hear anything back in a week so I just put stuff up here: https://github.com/guaka/pywikibot-extras Still needs a bit of work to make it more generic but sync.py could already be useful as is. \-------------------
Don't need to import deadlinkreport.py (exists under name of weblinkchecker.py) Other scripts looks good and standard to import even though I'm not sure what they exactly can do. I suggest to move it under bots/Kasper
The scripts are compat scripts. As Amir has said, weblinkchecker.py is a rough equivalent of deadlinkreport.py, but maybe there are some features which can be added http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/master/weblinkchecker.py http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/master/scripts%2Fweblinkchecker.py sync.py is roughly like transferbot.py in core http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/master/scripts%2Ftransferbot.py interfamily.py looks like it creates interwiki links between different families where the titles match. It is simple and effective, while 'interwiki.py' is large and scary and may not even offer similar functionality to this 'interfamily.py' script. IMO Kasper should submit interfamily.py to the compat repository , but without the hardcoded families list 'full_mapping' of course.
