Description:
Adding &bot=1 to a contribs page to do a bot rollback does not add this to the
links to see more contribs, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Phroziac&offset=20051127151134&limit=50
instead of
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Phroziac&offset=20051127151134&limit=50&bot=1.
This makes it a pain in the ass to bot rollback more then 50 edits at a time.

Version: 1.6.x
Severity: normal

What is the &bot=1 supposed to do in contributions page ? :)

It allows an administrator to roll back edits by a user, e.g. a large amount of
vandalism or a vandal bot, silently - the roll back is treated as if done by a
bot, and is thus hidden from Recent Changes. Agree the described behaviour is
something which needs to be addressed.

Commited a patch in HEAD and synced wikimedia servers.
Will be in 1.6 (too lazy to fix it in 1.5)
