Received Welcome to first edit message in languages I never edited

Hi, I've received notifications in several languages that I don't know and have never edited, in the past few months. Something is fishy. The languages are:

Macedonian: https://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80_%D1%81%D0%BE_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Mistakefinder

Central Kurdish:https://ckb.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AA%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%A8%DB%95%D8%AA:%D8%A8%DB%95%D8%B4%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1%DB%8C%DB%8C%DB%95%DA%A9%D8%A7%D9%86/Mistakefinder

Please let me know what caused notifications to be sent, or if I actually did make some minor change in those languages' pages and when. I do not remember or see any reason why I would have, since I cannot read them at all. Thank you.

This can happen for a number of reasons, but for me personally it often happens if those wikis have imported a template which i have once touched (or the documentation associated with it). This then creates your local account in those wikis, resulting in a welcome message.
