Bug ID: 50148
Summary: Echo should not fire mention notifications when the
edit is made by a bot.
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Echo
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Bot edits are triggering mention notifications. Some bots are prolific and
could possibly cause hundreds of notifications to be fired from one "event"
(via the bot's perspective).
<a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Notifications&oldid=561448686";>This
edit</a> can give context.
Possible solutions include:
1) Ignore all bot activity (bot flag = true, then no notification)
2) Create a bot "blacklist" (bot in blacklist, then no notification)
Aside from EdwardsBot, I can think that SineBot may have the same problem.
