--- Comment #3 from Dan Garry <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #2) > I just tested this locally and it worked fine for an API edit. Note that the > account making the edit needs to have the 'bot' flag and the OAuth grants > must include "High-volume editing". As far as your average user/administrator on-wiki is concerned, bot flags are an either-or; either an account is a bot and all the edits it makes are bot actions, or an account isn't a bot and none of the edits it makes are bot edits. The interface reinforces this; a bot flag is an account-level setting in Special:UserRights, rather than an edit-level setting. That the API allows that edit-level granularity is irrelevant in terms of user experience; the user doesn't use the API. So we've got two choices. 1) Make OAuth integrate better with the model we have for bot flags. 2) Change the model of bot flags by changing the MediaWiki interface to make it clearer that it's an edit-level setting rather than an account-level setting. I much prefer the former, because it's a lot less work from all three perspectives (engineering, design and product). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
