I don&#39;t see anything described in [[Manual:Bots]] that would actually<br>
help you detect bot editing traffic. What am I missing? Bots (or any<br>
high volume editing user) are typically asked to get specific rights<br>
on the wikis that they are interacting with but those on wiki<br>
permissions are associated with the wiki account and not the user<br>
agent.<br>
