Description

When running imports for T313051: Mass import translations from CSV file for MSG termbase we noticed that the imports were flooding the recent changes and no easy way to filter.

There are two approaches to solve this problem:

Mark the edits as a bot edit.
Skip logging each individual message and log the final import. We will have to ensure that we add the file somewhere so users can review what was imported.

Mentioned Here: T313051: Mass import translations from CSV file for MSG termbase

Can copy this implementation from ReplaceText extension:

				if ( $permissionManager->userHasRight( $current_user, 'bot' ) ) {
					$flags |= EDIT_FORCE_BOT;
				}

Nikerabbit set the point value for this task to 2.
