The edition is most notable for raising questions about the role of bots on Wikipedia, which initiated the development of policies and alternative measures of Wikipedias' quality. Its large number of bot-generated articles brought attention to the Volapük language, which often exemplifies the extent of Wikipedia's multilingualism[6] across national, minority, dead and constructed languages alike.[7][8][9][10][11]
In 2022, most of the bot's articles have been deleted.
