For example, if I write a new, possibly contentious task that might cause significant disruption, and decide to publish it to a large community, I should enable voting for that task by setting "vote": true -- especially because most of the users might not be experts in the specific change. If I simply use Sophox as my own power editor, instead of JOSM/Level0/..., I would edit things directly, and follow the same rules as set for the rest of the community. In this case, Serbian OSM Lint bot simply makes these changes directly. I think that person used to add name:sr with a custom script and/or by hand, and now simply uses Sophox for their work. > * Made it simple to revert Sophox changes: changesets now contain > > "task_id" to track task-related edits. > > Also, this seems to be optional: > https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53753685 has task_id = > "undefined" and was editing via Sophox 0.5.

I think task_id should be set to something else though, instead of undefined, to indicate that the user is using it in the power mode, and takes personal responsibility for all changes. Or I could simply not add the task_id tag in those cases. BTW, I think they should still use taskId in addition to the comment to better track their work. BTW, it is not possible to run a task without task id in a published (embed) mode. You can only run it as a task developer by hand (by editing the query, clicking run button, and scrolling down into the results section)
