Sysadmins could probably be persuaded to mass-move all
Wikipedia:WikiProject X to WikiProject:X via maintenance script. Or a
bot could do it.
Yah, but the actual page moves are the trivial part. It's cleaning up
everything else (templates, instructions, boilerplate, etc.) that
depends on pages being in a certain place that's going to be the
time-consuming part. (And it's not something that can be done by a
bot, either; it'll require significant work on the part of the actual
WikiProjects being moved.)
