Screenshot of [[b:pt:Special:RecentChanges]]

Recently we had some vandal edits made by an anonimous user but I've noticed his edits were marked as "BOT edits" (with a "b" in recent changes).

What is wrong?

Looks like these edits were rolled back with &action=rollback&markbot=1 , which marks both the revert and the reverted edit(s) with the bot flag. This is supposed to be a feature: it prevents the vandalism edits from cluttering recentchanges.

Humm... I see now... =S

But it is a bit weird  to have the "b" meaning both things:
(1) The edit was made by a bot
(2) The edit was reverted by an admin using rollback and rollback

It seems somewhat inconsistent (and can be misinterpreted, as I did...), don't you think?
