Hey, can you add the bot flag to your account until you are done with the automated edits? The edits been filling the global changes feed. Thanks. LakesideMiners (talk) 20:14, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know, I have now added the bot flag to my account. I will continue the automated edits now, so let me know if you have any more concerns. Reschultzed (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Per request. About what Miners said. Although his account has the Bot flag it still appears in the recent changes to in the recent changes channel of the wikis in #Miraheze-feed on IRC. Don't worry, the failure of the Bot flag is a system error and not yours (it happened with my puppet account on my wiki). I will explain.
- It seems that after giving the bot flag to an account, you should wait until an hour or more before doing a post-flag edit. This is so that the system will update and know the change of user permissions. What you should do is remove the Bot flag. After a few minutes or an hour or more, grant the Bot flag and wait another hour or more to make the edits you want to make. So I did it with the difference that they had a lapse of 12 or 24 hours (between the granting of the flag to the first post-flag edition).
- I forgot, this bug only occurs when doing automatic or semi-automatic edits (with ReplaceText, AutoWikiBrowser, etc.). Editions do not appear in the normal use of the Bot flag (1 edition per minute for example)
- I just want to make it clear that we don't want to pressure him or anything. There are some volunteers on the #Miraheze-feed channel who check recent changes for vandalism or other reasons and sometimes the automatic edits prevent edits from appearing because the RC bot doesn't read all of them. Sorry for the inconvenience and greetings. --Hispano76 (talk) 01:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
