TASK DESCRIPTION
  This is a follow-up to T102417 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102417>. 
The original issue of that task is no longer relevant, but the last comments 
present another issue.
  
  The message `wikibase-sitelinks-special` is "Other sites" in English. People 
at that task seem to agree that "Multilingual sites" is a better label, at 
least for wikidata.org. And indeed, on wikidata.org, it was changed to 
"Multilingual sites" in English, British English, and Russian. However, other 
languages get the label from the software, and that's translated in 
translatewiki.net from "Other sites", so it creates an undesirable 
inconsistency between languages.
  
  A simplistic solution for this is to change `wikibase-sitelinks-special` to 
"Multilingual sites". This will be good for wikidata.org, but I'm not sure that 
it's good for other sites that use the Wikibase extension.
  
  So, what do other Wikibase users and developers think about this? Is it 
enough to just change this message? If that's the case, I can quickly do it 
myself.
  
  Or is something smarter needed? For example:
  
  1. Create a new category called "Multilingual sites".
  2. In the Wikimedia configuration, move all "Other sites" to it.
  3. Let other sites remain with "Other sites" if they don't do anything.
  
  But that would probably have to be done by an actual Wikibase developer, 
because I'm not that familiar with that code.
