The current version of Wegweiser, while not perfect, now has the ability to pull article lists from the PrefixIndex API and generate skeleton entries (no tags, but date and subpage) in the indices. I filled them out from 2005 to present, which added some several hundred articles previously unindexed (i.e. 2017 only had a couple articles in the index for some reason).

:I've also started working through the [[Special:Permalink/1132253511|extremely long list of obsolete Signpost categories]] from 2005 to 2015; most of these (except for the by-month categories) are completely redundant to tags in the module. That said, the taggage in the module indices is not always complete (for example, not every article in [[:Category:Wikipedia Signpost Arbitration report archives 2005]] was tagged "arbitrationreport" in [[Module:Signpost/index/2005]]). So I wrote a script to do this as well; it is capable of going through these categories and fixing the module index tags as appropriate. (If the article is already tagged as being whatever, of course, it is left alone)
:Anyway, even with the heavy automation on scraping the categories and modifying the index tables, this cleanout would still take me days of copy-pasting, so I wrote another script that can upload the modifications automatically. I've submitted a BRFA at [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/WegweiserBot]], because it seems to me that this is required (it will also be useful for automatically updating the indices upon publication when I finish those scripts).
