Absolutely.  You continue saying your bot is a "service" but a service
works for the people who need it and does what they want; it doesn't (except
perhaps incidentally) work for the person providing it, doing what he wants.

Stubs? Yes.  When I worked with the English Wikipedia it was mainly stubs.

The Russian example, though, is more a project that has been pre-seeded with
templates.  There is nothing wrong with this in itself--though it does inflate
the page count--and we have already gone over the usefulness of knowing a word
exists in a language.

Isn't it the point of wiki that one has incorrect and incomplete data, but that
one is building a community who will take the effort to improve it?  In such
a case you would, rather than wanting to hide the links, make the information
_more_ public so, say, Russian visitors curious to see how the Vietnamese handle
their words can contribute to correcting the information.  (After all--this problem,
was brought to your attention by vi.wikt regulars, or those following interwiki
links to it?)
