[Wikimedia-l] Which Wikipedias have had large scale bot creation of articles this year?

[Craig Franklin]

On Irish language Wikipedia, we have had a bot which is creating articles
based on the text of "Fréamh an Eolais", a freely licenced scientific
encyclopaedia.

https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speisialta:Contributions/HusseyBot

ga.wp is not quite large enough to be included in the automated reporting,
unfortunately.

Cheers,
Craig Franklin
