I'd like to apologise for my German post to everybody. I didn't check the
"To:" in my email client and this mailing list is configured to send
replies to back to the list -- I didn't intend that and would like to
apologise for it.

Hallo Markus,
Das ist eine wirklich gute Idee, die du da umgesetzt hast.
Ich hätte nur eine kleine Anmerkung: Wenn ich dein Tool mit "en:Soup"
befülle, zeigt es auf der Ergebnisseite "{{de|----}}" an, weil der
Artikel
mit einer Vorlage und einer horizontalen Linie beginnt. Wäre toll, wenn
du
das beheben könntest.
Schöne Grüße,
Christian

I've worked some more on my SumIrUp tool [1],
which can generate a list
of language templates with one-line descriptions for a new article. All
it needs is a starting point, namely this article in any language. From
there, it will spider all the language links, and gather the initial
paragraph/sentence of each article. It then generates a
copy-and-paste-ready text, including language links.
I was wondering - why not link to this tool in the instructions text for
new articles? There could be a link to this tool using the name of the
page to be created, and en.wikipedia as default. If an article with that
name exists on en.wikipedia, it will generate said list of one-line
descriptions which can be copied into that article. As this is exactly
what commons articles/categories *should* contain, it might be a huge
help.
