Hi. I use the pywikipediabot framework (python) for this. Please ignore if this is too far off topic. Example pages that are updated using versions of the script below: * http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics * http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Localization_checks * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation_statistics Hope this helps.
