> Most wikis do want to protect highly used templates/modules. Seems <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12Qu8Ieh7KHfa9ZLYIgugPOYT4zeUOa05o8vuavF8djA/edit#gid=0> like most medium/large wikis do that but not for many templates (150 wikis, about 7 templates per wiki on average, not counting semiprotection which wouldn't affect a bot). So that doesn't seem like a huge obstacle. The numbers exclude template protection (apparently the stats backend does not track it correctly: T251411: page_restrictions field incomplete in Data Lake mediawiki_wikitext_current table <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251411>) but not that many wikis use that, I think. > Another big issue is simply applying for the bot flag to 500 wikis. If that can be somehow automated...? :) With a global bot flag. The current policy is limited to interwiki bots, but generalizing that into bots syncing global change seems like a reasonable change. > I could already automate the distribution of the content only to wikis that have granted bot user a bot flag... Or have an opt-in process via some config page like `MediaWiki:SharedTemplates.json` which the bot parses before touching that wiki.
