A bot has been approved to create articles on every place in the world which doesn't have an article yet, predicted to be about 2 million new stub articles.
There is some question as to whether or not this is a good idea, as it would double our number of articles within a few months, perhaps mess up Special:Random, and most of the new articles would forever be tiny stubs. There are suggestions that perhaps the bot could be limited to towns of a certain population size, or perhaps the tiny villages could be combined into lists instead of each having its own article.
I'm not arguing for or against this, just bringing it up here. If there are any concerns, speak now before the bot begins.
