Oh I forgot to mention-

I think it's inappropriate for this bot to be creating ANY of these babel
categories unless the category is populated.  There's no reason WP:CSD#C1
should not apply to every category this is creating that ends up not having
anyone in it after 4 days.  Someone went and tagged the majority of the
categories with the "empty category" template, basically saying it is the type
of category intended to be empty on occasion so as to not delete it, but in my
view that tagging was improper.  These categories are not intended to be empty
at any time, and I would highly recommend disabling creating any categories via
this bot unless it detects the category is populated.  At this point going
through and deleting all the empty categories the bot created would just be
extra unnecessary busywork, so I won't bother, but I wouldn't fault another
admin who decided to do so.  Please don't have this bot create categories that
aren't populated.  Thanks again!
