Another data point from the weekend: In one sample I took Saturday morning, 
when I sampled for 300s, the top site being purged was srwiki, and something 
like 98% of the purges flowing for srwiki were all Talk: pages (well, with 
Talk: as %-encoded something in Serbian).  When I visited random examples of 
the purged Talk pages, the vast majority of the ones I checked were 
content-free (as in, nobody had talked about the given article at all yet, it 
was showing the generic initial blob).  These had to be coming from a job 
obviously, the question is what kind of job wants to rip through (probably) 
every talk page on a wiki, blank ones included, for purging (or alternatively, 
it was ripping through the entire page list, and I just happened to catch it on 
a batch of Talk: ones)?  @faidon suggested a template used in those pages, but 
then what's triggering the template?  Surely not wikidata on a template for 
blank talk pages?
