Tom,
Measuring the success of a bot can be done in the same way that the
success is measured in a statistical model; Type I and Type II errors.
So for example, if the test is to attach wikidata tags to churches then:
Measured that way, I could code a bot that sets name=foo for all objects
with a name tag. Assuming I'm decent at coding, I could have zero Type I
and Type II errors, and by those criteria this mechanical edit would be
a success.
Success should be measured against the reasons for the mechanical edit.
Adding wikidata tags isn't the reason, it's what it does.
