Yeah, the problem is that it's really unclear how the bot flag actually works. As someone who's never used the API for anything serious, I was totally unaware that the API allows for edit-level granularity on bot edits, because there is no such granularity in the editing interface; ironically, any and all edits you make manually are tagged as bot edits. The above is actually a separate issue and has nothing to do with this bug, or even OAuth. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
