Vandals would have fun with that, but bot group could be set up like that (e.g. "flood" group) > -- The flag wouldn't be intended for use by robots, but regular users > who used some automated tool in order to make the edit Semantics of flags are up to wiki communities. They can make it mean whatever they desire. > -- Users could optionally mark any edit as tool edit through API only So like the bot flag (if they have the rights) :p > other suggestion that was somewhere else in thread about retroactively matking rdits Sounds kind of like the little known bot rollback feature minus the rollback aspect. -- This sounds either like you are proposing the bot flag, with a minor varation in the user given semantics. Or are proposing multiple levels of bot flaggedness so that tool edits could be independently hidden in rc separate from "tool" edits. --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
