Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Navigate to https://stream.wikimedia.org/v2/stream/recentchange
- Wait for some time (until some Wikimedia user makes a Flow edit)
- Search for "type":"142"
Here is one example:

Flow edits are reported in the RC feed with "type":"142".
What should have happened instead?:
The event should be reported with a different type, or a new type. The RC feed is documented at Manual:RCFeed, which defines type as:
Type of recent change event (rc_type). One of "edit", "new", "log", "categorize", or "external".
In addition, the RecentChanges schema (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos/schemas/event/primary, in the file jsonschema/mediawiki/recentchange/current.yaml) specifies:
type:
description: >
Type of recentchange event (rc_type). One of "edit", "new", "log",
"categorize", or "external". (See Manual:Recentchanges table#rc_type)
type: string`
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
I don't know where to report this -- it does seem like a minor issue but it is one that caused me some headaches when debugging downstream code. Would it be possible to change the type to "edit"? I'm not familiar enough to know if this is a Flow issue or an RCFeed issue.
