I wrote this functionality to help with WikiProject LGBT studies. However, our tag has an assessment component, so I've been reviewing each page before tagging, thus haven't used any automation. I noticed, though, that Wikipedia:BOTREQ is getting more and more requests for this same functionality, so I'm requesting approval to run the bot in automated mode.
Seems straightfoward in principle given past examples (though I personally think the whole thing is being massively overdone, especially on "reach exceeds their grasp" projects). However, just as there's a large number of such requests, there's also an increasingly large number of 'bots approved to deal with them. Should these be coordinating in some fashion? To deal with supply/demand issues, and to coordinate total server load in what's essentially one single giant task. (If such coordination should eventually lead to one edit being used to add six templates (if six templates must be added), rather tha six bots using six edits, to add one each, that'd be ideal, but admittedly seems less than likely.)
