TASK DESCRIPTION
I'm using Pywikibot to batch upload files to Fandom and then chnage their
categories and add a template using "upload", "category" and "add_text" scripts.
Everything works fine except one thing - edits done via Pywikibot are not
marked as done by bot, so they show up on "Recent changes" page even with
"Human (not bot)" filter on, which leads to flooding this list with edits done
by me.
I wrote asking about it to Fandom staff and they replied the following
> we aren't as familiar with that tool - but there's a specific API flag that
has to be sent as well as us setting the account as a bot.
>
> Do you believe you are sending that API flag?
Unfortunately I wasn't able something clear about it, there are some
mentioning in documentation but that's all. I tried editing `def save` in
page/__init__.py, setting `botflag: Optional[bool]` to `True`, but to no avail.
Changing `minor: bool` to `False` works though, edits done by bot are no longer
flagged as minor.
Is there something that I'm missing or is it a bug?
