I am the Maintainer of the IL bot. I don't think it should be paused. Everyone here is fine with it, and it's not specific to wikidata tags. It maintains shop/brand/fuel chains and keeps some of their tags consistent. I documented[1] the bot transparently, and anyone can easily modify the bot's "injected" tags easily if it's ever needed. Whatever is eventually decided regarding the Wiki tags can easily be applied to the bot. I see no reason for the bot to cease working. It's not a Wiki bot.
