Description Dave Ross 2011-09-24 04:16:50 UTC
A vandal has been able to flag edits as if they were made by a bot on en.wiktionary and en.wikiversity.  I was unable to do this merely by using the API edit with an "&bot" on a user without permissions, so I suspect it is some other bug.

The edits on en.wiktionary can be found here:
http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?namespace=3&tagfilter=&from=20110924021000&hidebots=&hideanons=1&hideliu=1&title=Special%3ARecentChanges

Same user on en.wikibooks:

You can see, that the rollback is marked as bot too. This is a mediawiki function to hide the rollbacks made with action=rollback from the recentchanges. ([[meta:Help:Reverting#Bot rollback]]

Ruy Pugliesi is a global rollbacker ([[meta:Global_rollback]]) and he has the permission "rollback" and "markbotedits"
