It should be: a client's edit is a bot edit if the editing user has a bit flag, unless that client specifically indicates its edit should NOT be marked as a bot edit. This should be consistent behaviour in all interfaces. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
