The "hidden by default" part of this bug is central. http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/autolist2.php currently says "Note: This tool is currently throttled to one edit every 10 seconds, because it would otherwise flood Recent Changes on Wikidata. Help me get [bug 64829] resolved, so the throttling can be removed again!" However the ability to flood is a permission which should be managed by the wiki community, and 'OAuth' should respect that. 'OAuth' is not something that could be trusted in itself - it is not even a single tool - it is just a bridge for any number of tools with different strengths and weaknesses. The current set of 'filters' on the RC UI could be improved so that any user group (including a new 'flood' group) could be included/excluded from the RC view. That is probably bug 4664. > It's already possible to filter RC by Widar: > https://www.wikidata.org/w/index. > php?namespace=&tagfilter=OAuth+CID%3A+68&translations=noaction&title=Special% > 3ARecentChanges > One possible improvement (in core) is to allow negative filtering and > multiple labels; doesn't sound impossible. Agreed; that would be good, but that is a very roundabout way to fix the OP's 'problem'. A more flexible filter system might be considered as part of the bug 21383/bug 25909 UI improvement, as a simple drop down would be going in the 'wrong' direction. A more flexible filter system might instead use a textbox with funky autocomplete assisting the user write a 'query' like "-bot -oauth +sometag -othertag -myedits -user:blah". A funky query syntax like that could be stored as a single user pref, eliminating the need for an ever growing number of boolean user prefs for RC and Watchlist defaults, e.g. bug 27050/bug 7039 (should those be dup'd the other way?) and bug 22213.
