Hi!

It's impossible to choose bots only edits with show/hide switches on Special:RecentChanges.

Looks like problem was introduced in 1.19 and still exists on 1.20wmf2 (try Commons).

On that URL,

Show minor edits | Hide bots | Show anonymous users | Show logged-in users | Show my edits

okay, yeah so that works. Now I'll go to:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges

First hide minor edits, so

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hideminor=1
Show minor edits | Show bots | Hide anonymous users | Hide logged-in users | Hide my edits

then anonymous, http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hideanons=1&hideminor=1
Show minor edits | Show bots | Show anonymous users | Hide logged-in users | Hide my edits

then hide bots
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidebots=0&hideminor=1&hideanons=1
Show minor edits | Hide bots | Show anonymous users | Hide logged-in users | Hide my edits

then hide logged in users
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hideliu=1&hideminor=1&hideanons=1
Show minor edits | Show bots | Hide anonymous users | Show logged-in users | Hide my edits

So now it seems like it switches logged in users and anonymous users - if you hide one the other automatically has the alternate option chosen. Therefore, hiding logged in shows anonymous and vice versa.

Yes, it does not work, because from "then hide bots" to "then hide logged in users" the url parameter "hidebots=0" is lost.

I think it's much simpler than above. Any link clicked loses the state of "Show bots" and always switches it to "Hide bots" (unless that was the specific one pressed).
