Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: General Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mikko Silvonen (silvonen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Sighted/unsighted status changed by bots on de wiki

Initial Comment: Pywikipedia-based interwiki bots sometimes change the sighted/unsighted status of articles on German Wikipedia, although they are supposed to preserve the existing status.

The current hypothesis is that the bug is in the FlaggedRevs Mediawiki extension, but I think we should record the bug also here until it has been fixed. Bot owners keep getting complaints about the bug.
