Hello Magnus,
Could you explain a little more about how you plan to use the tool?
I have some concerns about using it on Biographies of living people on Wikipedia-en. We have too much unverified information added to these article. I strongly believe that each article needs to be examined closely to verify the content meets our Wikipedia:BLP guidelines before it is added to a template.
Well, it can't run fully automatically, there has to be a user making the changes. I could prevent the tool from showing a template for people with no death date (=probably living;-) if there's great concern about that. Otherwise, the tool doesn't generate new data; it merely tries to extract the data already in the article and put it into a form that is more machine-readable.

I thought you said something about doing whole categories. I got the impression that the tool would convert a whole group of articles, over course one after another.
Who would use the tool? Does a human need to verify each fact (not sure of a better word) before it goes into the template?
If not I'm concerned about some false information slipping through.
Otherwise it sounds great. : - )
Take care, Sydney aka FloNight
