In Catalan Wikipedia all French communes have at least a bot-like page
imported/translated from the French equivalent, which was created by a bot
indeed: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:DasBot. In some
languages, those pages were first created, and then a bot came adding
geolocation coordinates. All this before Wikidata.

See for instance https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Amancet and the
corresponding https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanch_Amau%C3%A7, and in
English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Amancet

That article is available in 20 languages, including Cebuano (heavy bot
user) and the languages showcased in Markus' new and splendid visualization
tool.
