Sometimes when community want to approve tasks for already flagged bot, they want bot doesn't mark their task as bot edit so it appears on RC and Watchlist as non-bot edit. I think this can be a reason?
Thanks. This is a relevant use case indeed! I will add support for the bot flag to my code then.

Ok, but when a user edits a wiki thourgh the browser, this is not related to the API anyway, is it? I wonder in which cases a users with a bot flag makes an edit through the API that should not be flagged as "bot". Background: I am currently implementing write access to Wikidata. I am inclined to set the bot flag on all requests to simplify the interface.

The documentation says that this will mark the edit as a bot edit, but only if the user is in the bot group. In other words, users in the bot group can use this parameter to decide if they want to have their API-based edit flagged as bot or not. Is there any reason why a user in bot group would *not* want their API-based edit flagged as bot?
