Hey there! I have a new proposal that administrators have the right to add a bot flag to themselves. This is used on many wikis, including Community Central. It is very useful to flag yourself, especially with maintenance so you are not flooding the RecentChanges. You're probably thinking this seems pointless but it really can be used and serve purpose to prevent flooding. This is especially useful if users who watch the activity are flooded because of an admin making maintenance edits or deletions. I think this could be useful and I want to see what the community thinks. Best regards! --Yuzura☆炎のマスター 19:52, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Comment —So, what you are saying is we should be able to flag ourselves so other users can hide our edits? Could we be also able to flag our own bots so we don't have to wait for the staff to flag them?Heeeeeeeeeeeere's JOHNNY !!! 21:24, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
- We could only flag ourselves as of now. In the future, we could perhaps apply to allow bureaucrats to add flags, but this is essentially so we can hide our own edits from appearing in WikiActivity, RecentChanges, and logs temporarily - a preventative measure of flooding and deleting. But as I stated, flagging bots could be a right added to bureaucrats later on, but that is another matter. --Yuzura☆炎のマスター 23:05, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I really don't see how this is currently a problem, but I guess I'll support this anyway. Heeeeeeeeeeeere's JOHNNY !!! 23:19, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Comment — Does this apply to Special:Contributions aswell? TheMostBoringManInTheWorld (talk) 02:12, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
- No, you can still view the edits and contributions being made via that page, but that page only so long as the flag is active. --Yuzura☆炎のマスター 19:40, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
