On it.wp we did not use the bots for creating the articles about the 8,000+ municipalities of Italy. Nevertheless, we created some templates and schemes to be applied for creating a consistent series of articles, that have been created "manually" by merging the data from the national statistical agency of Italy. Bots weren't yet running on it:wp in that time.
People who participated in this thread, specially who submitted their opinions about bot-generation articles and its good and bad, may be interested in an on-going vote on a bot-generated article related proposal.
