Hi!
Is there a bot that can help me to import CSV file and turn it into templated pages?
For example: I have csv with Universities:
University Name,Alias,Number of students massachusetts institute of technology,MIT,2100430 oxford university,oxford,492304 ...
I want to create pages for each of the university with the text:
{{University |alias=oxford |number of students=492304934 }} ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote
I think this is a special need, for which you could rewrite pagefromfile.py.

Cool! Thanks for the pointer. I think that I can form the file using Open Refine. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

Yes, OpenRefine's templating exporter can do this transformation trivially. Just create a new project using the CSV and select Export. The templating exporter's default JSON structure isn't that different from what you want, so just tweaking it a little will get you there.

Opening the CSV file and using this as an array to generate templates is easy in Python, it does not need a special bot. Getting consensus to add templates to everything and ensuring that the matching articles or images are the right ones to change is the hard part.
On en.wp in particular, mass changing articles by bot to add information templates could be a long discussion.

For Wiki Loves Monuments a lot of people are using http://area23.brightbyte.de/csv2template.php . If you happen to make something in python, please publish it, we still have many countries (like the UK) where we still need to make lists.
