Krenair renamed this task from wbcreateredirect should respect the bot flag to wbcreateredirect should have a 'bot' param.Jan 17 2015, 9:20 PM

Changed title again as the module does report that it has the bot param and also that you can pass it in.
The issue is that it does nothing with it.

This happens again, even when merging items, check for MatSuBot's edits.

As far as I see (by skimming the code) hat should all work just fine… can you tell which api module (action=…) exactly the bot is using (full list of parameters preferred)?

Looking into Pywikibot, it seems that unlike editEntity(), mergeItems() doesn't allow bot=1. If this turns out to be right, I will close this ticket and open another.
