I saw that inside config.py there are these lines:
# This is currently not used anywhere: account_global = False
I don't know what this means technically, but by its name one may guess it means "not to login globally". But, since almost every account is global, why don't allow global login with the bot? Many users works on more than one wiki, for example, I work on both it.wiki and it.wikt, but there are also global bots who work on a big number of wikis. Therefore a global login would be convenient, no? Happy 2012 Nickanc

In my opinion, the "This is currently not used anywhere" means that we should just remove this option, rather than discuss what its default value should be - or even what it means.
