Hi!

Wikipedia contains many categories of subject by country. There ~ 200
countries, so in many cases interwikis for such categories could be
missed.

I think will be good idea to create bot which will generate interwikis
by using 2 sets of parameters:

1) Template for generating dictionary of country names -  category
names on 2 languages (for example English and Russian) which already
well interwiked: "National symbols of %s", "Государственные символы
%s".

2) Templates to generate new interwikis: for example "Football in %s",
"Футбол в %s"

I think such bot will definitely help to avoid routine work.

Eugene.
