Hello
A tiny point I'd like to raise is the suitability of bots with sysop
status. I know it is being done in some places, but it seems generally
frowned upon.
Recently, a sysop bot on cs:wiki started to blocked ip which appeared
(how ?) to be anon proxies. 6000 blocks for now...
Good idea ? Bad idea ?

has enabled the [[Special:Makebot]] feature for
Wikimedia wikis; this feature allows local
bureaucrats to flag and
deflag bot accounts on their projects.
Now it seem to be activated on all projects. Perhaps some wikis may
want to have their bot policies multiligualize.
If you may want to ask a help for translation, consider to submit your
request on [[Meta:Translation requests]]. There you find a section
dedicated for "requests from local projects". Cymri (Welsh)Wikipedia
has once used it for i18n of their welcoming messages and they seem to
be happy with results of their requests.

Enjoy!
