Okay, this is my first post here, and I'm not really sure this is the best place to put my question. I'm hoping some of you know how to make bots. Here's my situation: a while back, Kevin Rector (who has since left Wikiedia) made me a bot to do assisted transwikis to Wiktionary. It's been a great help (Check out WP:TL) and whereas once there was a backlog of articles tagged for transwiki of >1000, now it is essentially zero as I clean out the category every day. So, I'd like a similar bot that can do transwikis to all the other sister projects. Wikibooks and Wikisource, in particluar, both have backlogs of over 100, some of which have been waiting around, even after VfD decisions, for months without transwiki. And some minor bugs in the current bot could do with some fixing. I'm hoping that someone can make this bot (I'll still run it). You can contact me on my WP talk page (I'm Dmcdevit). And thanks a lot.

Rather than hacking something togather to move the complete history of a page you'd be better of helping finish bug 606 (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606)
