Hi,
I looked at my contribution in the German Wikipedia[1] and noticed some
unusual things:
* I have many more contributions there than I thought I do.
* I did some very strange edits, such as adding a category with an
*English* name[2]
"Why would I do such a thing?", I thought.
Then I realized that some articles in the German Wikipedia are imported
with all their old versions when they are being translated. So these edits
were actually in the English Wikipedia.
Is it a usual practice in the German Wikipedia? What is the reason for it?
Is there a policy page about it?
Are there are Wikipedia projects that do this?
Thanks!
