--- Comment #5 from Yusuke Matsubara <[email protected]> ---
I'm not sure flagging it as a bot is a good idea. Bot edits are automatically
hidden on RecentChanges and Watchlists (by default), yet edits by FuzzyBot (and
MediaWiki message delivery) are meant to notify people, triggered by people, as
pointed by Nemo.

Wouldn't it be better if we can keep the bot's edits visible on RecentChanges
and Watchlists while it is labeled as an automated agent by another measure
than flagging as a bot? There is an idea to create a user group with no effect
on visibility of edits but just for identifying as bots:
