Have you ever searched for anniversaries to put on the main page of
Wikipedia?
Or do you know users who deal with this?
I had a dream to find possible anniversaries with bot and this weekend I
did it.
The bot goes through articles and collects data in connection with the
given date.
In huwiki editors began to use it in the first minutes. :-)
It is hard to write it generally in a form suitable for all Wikipedias, so
I choosed to make localization easy with code and description.
Bot v0.8:

Documentation:

Sample product:
https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:BinBot/%C3%89vfordul%C3%B3pr%…
It is not ready as the date must still be set in code (main()), but it
works and I am working on it further.
