It would be used in cases for large quantities of data entry where most or all
of the data is identical. Here's an example (login with Demo/test):

http://www.coincompendium.com/w/index.php/Special:RunQuery/Specimen_find?&Specimen_find%5BCertification+number+range+begin%5D=3495072-001&Specimen_find%5BCertification+number+range+end%5D=3495072-040&Specimen_find%5BType%5D=CCT1&Specimen_find%5BGrade%5D=69&Specimen_find%5BDesignation%5D=Ultra+Cameo&Specimen_find%5BCertified+by%5D=NGC&wpRunQuery=true

That is a list of serial numbers that are supposed to have their own unique
"CC1234567890" page. We have discovered instances where there can be as many as
several thousand different serial numbers that need to be entered into their
own pages, with all other information identical except for the serial number. 

Right now, we can use auto-edit links to manually click on them one at a time,
and with enough people doing that, it seems to be getting done slowly. However,
I have been told that some of the expert hobbyists have put together a few
large lists of serial numbers that have already been verified, and are ready
for data entry. 

Those could be automatically entered very quickly if auto creation of red links
worked on Special:RunQuery. I can design that search results template to
produce a red link just for that purpose.

If you need any other information, let me know.
