Description

For non-wikipedias where the wikipedia exists, this can be done.

/usr/bin/mysql < insert into <FAMILY> (prefix, lang, loclang, method) select prefix,lang,loclang,method from wikipedias where prefix=<PREFIX>;
/usr/lib/wikistats/update.php wX prefix <PREFIX>

There's only 1 item there that changes for each. You could add a bash script that takes family & prefix to automate. Maybe even add it to Maint-Bot then as the family is easy to pull.

For wikipedias or where there is not an existing Wikipedia:

insert into <FAMILY> (prefix, lang, loclang, method) values (<PREFIX>, <LANG>, <LOCLANG>, 8);
/usr/lib/wikistats/update.php wX prefix <PREFIX>

This can be mostly taken from the ticket except LOCLANG

For specials, the table is completely different but they are more rare.

What about Wikipedias where another project in that language exists? We currently have two Wiktionaries that don't (yet) have a corresponding Wikipedia: shywiktionary and btmwiktionary

The bit below, you just can't copy the data from the existing tables.

prefix, lang & loclang should be the same for every project. They could probably be split into another table. That's a bigger task though that involves rewriting code. Don't want to blow too much up yet.

Is this really automating it though? I mean, sure, putting the commands into a script will make it a little easier but end of the day you are still manually running a (single) command and you have to react to a wiki creation task being resolved.

Real automation would be something like a timer looking at new emails on the "newprojects" mailing list, extracting the project name and language and then adding it. Even that seems quite do-able if the language itself already exists. It gets trickier though for a new language; would have to also extract that from the ISO website ... but not impossible.
