Details
Define the cluster name for the bot_passwords table for use with the new bot authentication system.
If set to "false", the regular cluster will be used.
Note that $wgEnableBotPasswords must be set to "true" (which is the default) for this to work.
The goal of this variable is to support cross-wiki sharing of bot passwords: the bot_passwords table references users by their central IDs so only one instance of the table should exist in the whole wikifarm.
This configuration parameter was introduced in Gerrit change 259066 (<translate> task <tvar name=1>T121113</tvar></translate>).
