Proto problems

The template {{proto}} is deprecated and shouldn't be used, so the message your bot generates should probably be changed as well.

Also, I wonder about "quasilinking". I have noticed quite a lot of cases where reconstructed terms use *{{term||word}} or some variety of that, with the asterisk right before the template. Your bot doesn't seem to catch those, but I'm not sure why. Could it be that the bot only looks at the first parameter, and skips when it is empty? It would be very helpful if it caught cases like the above as well, because in many cases something like *{{term||word}} should really use {{recons||word|lang=xx}} or even {{recons|word|lang=xx}} with a link.

Thanks. I'll remove the {{proto}} messages. For the quasilinking, here's the regexp that I'm using ^[:#\*]*[^:#\*].+\* ?(?:'*\[\[|\{\{term\|(?=[^\|]))([^\|\}\]]+), hopefully that will help you find the anomaly. Let me know if you have a suggestion.
