Problem with the Polish settlement pages

All the pages about Polish villages were made by the same bot: @Kotbot. Problem is, the bot was extremely flawed with one thing: didn't seperate colonies(kolonie) and internal parts of towns/villages with full villages. So now e.g Ławki is listed as a settlement while it's a part of Tomaszów Lubelski. Brickguy276 (talk) 17:06, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, what do you propose, @Brickguy276? This potentially is a big problem. By my count, there are some 52,000+ articles about Polish towns and cities, if you include all these "colonies" etc. While I can do a manual search on TERYT to verify that a particular locality (for want of a better term) exists or not, to try to do this in an automated fashion would be a big stretch of my scripting skills.

Problem is, I don't really know, best case scenario is just botting it which seems kinda pointless considering the irrelevance of these articles. Brickguy276 (talk) 07:51, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a known issue, we have a discussion ongoing linked below about it. FOARP (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't receive any notification of that ping (below). How about you, @Brickguy276? Kiwipete (talk) 19:18, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
