Can we get global bots to do it? I know it's not part of their policy,
maybe an exception or a discussion about it?

Hi all,
With this weeks deployment of MediaWiki to Wikimedia sites, you'll
notice that magic links[1] now add tracking categories to identify their
usage.
As discussed in an RfC, magic links have some problems[2], and we would
like to phase them out with interwiki links and templates instead.
Things like VisualEditor will still specially handle ISBN/RFC/PMID, but
generate the wikitext link format.
I would like to recruit the help of bot authors and operators in
updating their wikis to not use magic links. Is there anyone in your
community who would be interested?
