Thanks for the helpful feedback on my mail: @Peter an Liam perhaps we should replace the name "stubarticles" with "seed(ing)articles", at least for these botgenerated ones who have all the bascis in place @Jane, and besides a nice name Jan Ainali has also made a wonderful logo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BotAcademy.svg @Andy very helpful indeed. I will make sure it will be included if Sverker goes ahead generating articles of authors from Libris

You're doing great work - keep it up!
*lsj will look into using the database used by Swedish libraries, with info of authors and books. Would it be feasible to generate articles on authors?
If you're creating biographies of people, please be sure to include the local equivalent of the {{Authority control}} template:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Authority_controlFor the Swedish project, that would be:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall:Auktoritetsdatawhich was only recently created. If you are about to do so on a project in another language, with no version of that template, please let me know in good time, so that we can set one up.
The template pulls values from Wikidata, so you don't need to add values to each article, just the bare template. However, if your subjects are new to Wikidata/Wikipedia, you can of course add their authority control values to Wikidata. Note that the Swedish LIBRIS system:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIBRISis catered for.
While not relevant for bot-created articles, bear in mind also that the template can be placed on user pages, for editors who are in authority control databases, including ORCID, for which they can self-register. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ORCIDAgain, if you're working on a project which uses this template, but which does not yet support ORCID, please let me know. (*stares at DE, FR & IT Wikipedias*)
