It will if people are prepared to tackle it. I've just spent about three 
months adding {{geocoords}} to most of the ~7500 UK articles lacking them, 
and there is only a handful left. I note that we have over 10,000 articles 
with {{deadlink}}s, and that is my next project. Some assistance would be 
welcome, before I go totally insane.
