In the past couple weeks I’ve spent a few minutes here and there adding the Geolinks-US-cityscale template to all 251 Vermont town pages. The template, along with the latitude and longitude of the town (that I got from the Libre Map Project) provide links directly to topographic maps, street maps, and satellite photos. For an example, go to the Marlboro, Vermont page and look at the external links.
Up until now, I’ve done all the Vermont town edits by hand. But it is probably high time I look into creating a robot. Ram-Man was recently using his Rambot robot to add the template to town pages, but he comes and goes, and he appears to be on a wikipedia vacation, for who knows how long.
Before I started my latest series of edits, I checked out the Python Wikipedia Robot Framework. A few examples are included, however, nothing ready made that does quite what I need.

wow, this looks really terrifically excellent, I was wondering if you had a bot or not and I assumed “not” because they were just too slow
