Inflectobot request

As part of my effort to improve Yiddish coverage at Wiktionary, I've noticed that inflected forms of adjectives are extremely common in texts. In fact, they are more common than their lemma in some cases, if our frequency list is any guide. Would you be able to set MewBot to create entries for them when the templates {{yi-adj-1}}, {{yi-adj-m}}, {{yi-adj-n}}, or {{yi-adj-vowel}} is transcluded? An example of the format can be found at ייִדישע. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I really have the time or energy to do that right now. But the code for MewBot is open, so if you want to try you could make your own based on what is already there. If you provide your code I will certainly try to add it to the bot. :)

Ah, that's a pity. Why must those of us who can program well also have lives??? I've never used Python, and I wouldn't know what to change to make it work for Yiddish.

I learned Python just so I could make the bot. It isn't that hard, and I can help with problems if you have them.

...but I wanted to spend all my free time watching anime and reading these damnable scientific reports on large-scale anoxia! But TBH, now's probably a really good time for me to learn. Let me see what I can do in a week or two.
