In T171263#3484037, @daniel wrote:@Emijrp the point is that at least some people should have an eye on bot edits some time, otherwise nobody will notice when a bot goes wrong. Bot edits on wikidata should be marked as such on client wikis too (let me know if they are not), so people can filter them out. But skipping propagation alltogether would mean that wikidata bots effectively run unsupervised. That would not be good.
Now, if we need an emergency way to cut down the backlog, I agree that it's better to drop bot edits than to drop manual edits.
We could set different priority levels for dispatching changes. For IP (high level, vandalism is more possible), registered users (medium level), bots (low level). According to WikiScan, in the last 24 hours, there were these edits:
Total : 791,322 Users : 142,541 IP : 1,322 IPv6 : 141 Bots : 647,459
Bot changes could be discarded sooner too, like in the first 24 hours if they are not dispatched in that period.
