Hopefully your research does not conclude this is a good idea; I had been

such queries, as the need in automating this means inefficiency in manual

Hi Steven,
What qualifies as many? On ro.wp, Andrebot is creating sections of

On sv:wp our main headaches has not been technical problems in bots but
inconsistencies (errors) in sources.
For our lakes the hydrological authorities has in some cases called a
group of nearby and/or conneced lakes with a plural name, like
Pikelakes, while the mapauthorities call them

And even if this only is relevant for far less then 1% of all generated

complicated to fix (area of lakes, depths) and there is a debate

Small error rates are a real challenge. My experience on Commons for
large bot work has been long discussions around quality complaints
where the level of error was *well below 1%*.
Very interesting you also mention this level of problematic articles. We

On Irish language Wikipedia, we have had a bot which is creating articles
based on the text of Fréamh an Eolais, a freely licenced scientific
encyclopaedia.

The Tagalog Wikipedia did not use bots, but we had editors doing it manually.
Users like Wikiboost, Booster Gold, etc. added hundreds, if not thousands, of
