As a bot operator I think API parameter about flagging bot or not is necessary
Sure, but as I'm not a bot operator, can you explain why and what you use this for, to help me understand? :-)
Implementing the parameter (whether the current status quo or my suggestion) in UI is important, I think adding a mark box besides minor and watch options would be great (for bots, admins and flooders)
I think so too. Display it only to people with the bot flag, and their edits will be tagged as bot edits iff they check the box. The API would be unaffected, and continue to function as it did before.
As a product manager I am wary of adding more clutter into the already busy edit interface, but given the scope of the feature (i.e. it only displays to people flagged as bots), I think it'd be okay.
