--- Comment #29 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> --- As Niklas said earlier: "I see it now. The bot flag is set manually by EditPage.php. I don't want add hacks like that into my code. Recategorizing to core bug." He said the proper fix to this is in core, rather than a workaround in every extension. Siebrand said: "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." I am inclined to agree with both of them. This means changing the behavior of the bot parameter for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit such that it overrides the account's flag (of course, regular users can not use the bot override), rather than making bot accounts always say "Remember, I'm a bot!" on every request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
