TASK DESCRIPTION
`scripts/checkimages.py` supports `__botnick__` as a substitution name in its
translatable strings which are embedded in the Python module.
e.g.
```
'commons': (u"\n{{subst:User:Filnik/untagged|File:%s}}\n\n''This message "
u"was '''added automatically by __botnick__''', if you need "
u"some help about it, please read the text above again and "
u"follow the links in it, if you still need help ask at the "
u"[[File:Human-help-browser.svg|18px|link=Commons:Help
desk|?]] "
u"'''[[Commons:Help desk|->]][[Commons:Help desk]]''' in any "
u"language you like to use.'' --__botnick__ ~~~~~"""),
```
checkimages.py needs to be updated to replace `__botnick__` in those messages
with `%(username)s`, and perform substitution using the new notation.
Pywikibot has been working towards using `%(foo)s` as the standard string
substitution notation used in l10n/i18n messages.
Also `botnick` is not a commonly understood term, which confuses translators.
'username' or 'user' would be more easily understood.
