Description Avocato 2012-11-01 15:11:04 UTC 
Although I granted bot flag to user:Translation Notification Bot in the Arabic Wikipedia (ar.wiki), it's edits still can be seen in RecentChanges in default mode which hides bots' edits. Please, solve this problem.
Comment 1 Siebrand Mazeland 2012-11-01 15:35:19 UTC 
I've updated the summary, to better reflect the need I see in description.
Comment 2 Nemo 2013-02-03 22:38:22 UTC 
I think this is a duplicate of bug 33461, or a dependency of it, like bug 25455.

Sorry.

Comment 4 Nemo 2013-02-03 23:33:02 UTC 
Also, note that several projects made the account autopatrolled and *that* works, because patrol is not an edit flag, as Niklas noted on bug 38590.
Comment 5 Niklas Laxström 2013-05-28 07:44:54 UTC 
I think we can apply bot=1 for edits via the WebAPI. It will just be ignored if it is not possible to set it.

Are there any downsides for making these edits as bot edits? Will users still get notifications about the edits?

Yes, if the edits are not marked minor too. (This may change in the future, it's not a well documented thing.)

Right. This is a one-line fix to TranslationNotificationJob.php, it looks like. Marking this bug with the "easy" keyword accordingly.

Comment 10 PiRSquared17 2013-07-16 02:33:42 UTC 
I don't know if this is really fixed. It just flooded Meta (and presumably several other wikis).
Comment 11 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2013-07-16 02:38:26 UTC 
This is my fault. I'm uploading a new patchset in a few minutes which should actually fix the bug.
Comment 12 Gerrit Notification Bot 2013-07-16 02:52:23 UTC 
Change 73918 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm:
If the local user has the bot userright, mark the edit as bot.

Comment 14 Nemo 2013-07-16 07:31:38 UTC 
The patch affects more the original intentions of bug 44210 than of comment 0 (ar.wiki's case was already ok), anyway this is definitely fixed.
