**Proposal**:
Currently, when a new category is created, even if it is linked to Wikidata and other language categories, there is no easy way to generate a list of articles that exist on a given wiki that should be populated with it. And even when someone has a list of such articles, they have to manually tag them. I'd like to see a tool that generates such lists, and allows populating categories with as much ease as Commons commons:Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot
