If I understand correctly,
{{cite doi|10.1103/RevModPhys.69.865}}
essentially includes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_doi/10.1103.2FRevModPhys.69.865
; if that page does not exist, a bot will fill it (e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cite_doi/10.1103.2FRevModPhys.69.865&oldid=472819775
).
As such, you could just edit pages with the prefix "Template:Cite_doi/".
You'd just have to check for new pages there, and that should be easy to do
with a database query.
