Z12250 in French
Hi,
I saw your notice concerning the Z12250 in French and the autopatrolled removed. When I created it, after reading the help pages, I understood that we could add translations further, like this is in Wikidata. It's not a tentative of pollution from mine.
However, it was the right decision without knowing my misunderstanding, so thanks for having done it =)

- @Athozus OK, no worries! I'm not going to re-set it right now just because that's the only edit you've made so far, but it will be granted in the future if you need it or it would be helpful. Best, —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
