Wikipedians, it looks like some kind of bot. Checking, what I find is
that the year pages on pl: have recently been augmented with a nice
table giving the ruler at that time in various countries. Whether it is
the reason for your finds, I doubt though.
The table+calendar for each year is around 18Kbytes and >100 links, so if
it has been added to 2000+ years, that's easily enough to account for the
increase in database size, and I suspect in words and links.
