This is a general purpose bot for ongoing data maintenance, i.e. spotting and tagging or fixing bad or old data.
Feel free to edit the below lists of repetitive tasks that could be best achieved through a bot:

Top Priority

It could scan the new pages, and:

  1. Spot any which have an Object template
  2. Use their |wikipedia parameter to read the matching Wikipedia page
  3. Automatically add all the available extra parameters to the Wikispooks page

Other things it could do

This is for fairly well defined tasks:

  1. Upload missing images from Wikipedia
  2. Check URLs and tag those which have link rot
  3. Highlighting deprecated template usages
  4. Highlighting pages of Category:Doc without Template:DocProv

Ideas

This is for as yet poorly defined general ideas:

  1. Build pages
    1. 'Most wanted' in the WikiSpooks:To Do section
