To clarify: There is now a bevy of users editing scowiki (and presumably fixing it). There is still this huge RFC on Meta about it at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Large_scale_language_inaccuracies_on_the_Scots_Wikipedia>. Multiple people are running for adminship to be even more efficient at doing the cleanup < https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship> If you want to help with it, by all means go for it by engaging with the people there where these discussions are happening. However, nobody is being helped by us discussing about a new template or a bot in our quiet little mailing list here. There is already such a template now: < https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mercat_Cross#(en)_The_Big_Wiki_Rewrite_-_low_hanging_fruit>. Ostensibly, many experienced people are participating there (they know how to use WMF Labs, for example) and also on the RFC in general. One is also a WMUK staffer. Stewards, global sysops and the new local sysops are involved and can address the topic of deletions. I am sure lots of people there come from enwiki and know how to get bot operators to help them. I am sure they all welcome additional help, but all of that can be easily coordinated on-wiki.
