There are loads of pages of 'Lists of Authors' 'List of Jews' and such
- it would be very easy to write a little perl script, that takes the
URL of list and an attribute, and tags them all.

So, given "List of Irish Poets" and [[Category:Irish]] and
[[Category:Poet]], it could very quickly tag all the pages in the
list.
