Yes, I remember looking at this project some time ago and thinking it would
be difficult to support any mediawiki wiki in any language.  But now that
we have the nice wrapper from the browser tests to the create-page API
call, it is a much easier project.

It sounds like what exists now would be useful immediately.  I will start
building out the rest of your list in the near future.
