My favorite name for this site would be “Langue française”. If the name has to be in English, I prefer “French Language” to “French Language & Usage”: I agree that the “and usage” part is redundant. Furthermore the current name is slightly awkward to translate into French, where the adjective French has to be placed after the noun, which makes it less ...

UPDATE: I've made the changes as outlined below.
Overall, I think you have a good lead on these - I'd like to suggest a few changes from Tsundoku's version. I've explained my recommendations in each section below.

J'ai dégelé la salle. (Seuls les modérateurs peuvent le faire, mais ça peut être n'importe quel modérateur sur tout Stack Exchange, parce que le clavardage est partagé entre les sites.)
Une salle de clavardage est gelée s'il n'y a aucun message pendant 14 jours, hors message par des bots (“feeds”).
Le système protège la dernière salle associée à un site, ...

These and a few other quote characters will work as expected from the next site build on; see my answer on Meta.SO.

« Idiomes » est bien ici un anglicisme; « idiotisme » n'est pas très heureux à cause de sa proximité avec « idiot »; « expression idiomatique » est la la formule consacrée mais un peu long pour une étiquette; je proposerais donc le néologisme rare mais non ambigu « idiomatisme ».
Idiomes is indeed an anglicism here; idiotisme is odd being too close to idiot;...

Après réflexion, il me semble que idiomes regroupe actuellement deux types de questions assez faciles à distinguer:
Celles qui traitent d'idiotismes (on peut synonymiser, voire préférer expressions-idiomatiques) ou qui sont à la recherche d'équivalents. Il peut s'agir d'expressions courantes mais aussi de constructions étranges, de vocabulaire culinaire, de ...

You can track further evolution and see technical explanations on the bug report on the main meta.

Since no one disagreed nor came up with different suggestions, I went on and renamed the tag to apprentissage, which études has now become a synonym of.

We seem to have forgotten to record it on meta, but accented tag names have been possible for several months now.
We've renamed all the existing tags that lacked accents and kept the unaccented name as a synonym (for people who can't type accented letters easily). Given our policy of French tag names with English synonyms, this means that tags normally have ...
