	These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# Notification bot
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Zulip notification bot automatically generates messages for
 | 
						|
various organization level events, including:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Stream settings changes such as [name](/help/rename-a-stream),
 | 
						|
  [description](/help/change-the-stream-description),
 | 
						|
  [permission](/help/stream-permissions) and
 | 
						|
  [policy](/help/stream-sending-policy) updates (sent to the
 | 
						|
  "stream events" topic)
 | 
						|
* A topic being [resolved/unresolved](/help/resolve-a-topic)
 | 
						|
* New public stream announcements (private streams are not announced)
 | 
						|
* New user announcements
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The notification bot also generates automated private messages to
 | 
						|
individual users for some user specific events, such as [being
 | 
						|
subscribed to a stream][add-users-to-stream] by another user.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Additionally, when [moving messages to another stream][move-messages],
 | 
						|
users can have the notification bot send automated notices to help
 | 
						|
others find the moved content.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Organization administrators can configure where (and whether)
 | 
						|
[new stream](#new-stream-announcements) and
 | 
						|
[new user](#new-user-announcements) announcement messages are sent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Stream messages sent by the notification bot (including the topic)
 | 
						|
are translated into the language that the organization has configured
 | 
						|
as the [organization language for automated messages and invitation
 | 
						|
emails][org-lang]. Private messages sent by the notification bot to
 | 
						|
a user will use [their preferred language](/help/change-your-language).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
