Forum:Bot flag

Hello all,

I get the feeling that I'm flooding the recent changes list with bot edits, although I set it up to work at a very limited pace. I think I'm not the only one that's bothered.

The solution is to flag the bot. Its edits would be marked with a "b" (just as minor edits are marked "m"); this way, people could hide them and watch only the human-made edits. (Of course it is possible to show them as well!)

To obtain a flag, an admin here must contact the Wikia Community Team using this form, providing "a link to a public discussion showing that the community approves of the use and flagging of the bot". There is not much detail, and I don't really know how to do it, so let's just try it that way:


 * Bot: PX-Bot
 * Role: Various wide-scale little changes
 * Current Operations: Setting up the new color scheme template system imagined by Ruxax (creation of ~150 color scheme template pages, and modification of all articles using a box template)
 * Successfully Achieved Operations: Renaming the seven "... Villains" categories into "... Antagonists"
 * Contrib List: Special:Contributions/PX-Bot
 * Emergency Stop: on the user page

Please state whether you approve the use of the bot, and if yes, whether you approve its flagging!
