On Community Central, administrators can make themselves as bot when there are jobs that may hugely affect Special:WikiActivity or Special:RecentChanged. (See here for detail)

I created a filter that can detect the automatic edits mostly progressed by scripts on Fandom Open Source Library because I think some of the content is hard to update with such scripts. Recent logs from Special:AbuseLog show that updating is progressed by scripts.

However, doing such job without bot rights, it floods hugely on two special pages that I mentioned. This makes hard to see the recent activity like blog, forum, and so on.

So, I think it is good to flag as bot themselves before doing such jobs to prevent activity flood. It is very recommended to users who don't have alternative account to do it.

What's your opinion about this topic? You can suggest range of user rights to apply this feature, if you want to allow this feature on other user rights.
