Yes, I know that.. I should have said recentchanges instead of
revisions.
But they're not flagged in the recentchanges table. The problem is
that they show up whether or not one uses hide bots in
Special:Recentchanges. This is fixable by manually updating
recentchanges with,
update recentchanges set rc_bot=1 where rc_user=<bot_user_id>;
but I was hoping that importDump would do this automatically based on
recognizing the username. However, upon reflection, I believe that
importDump doesn't do anything directly to recentchanges - I usually
have to rebuild to get changes to show up. Thus, if there is a fix
needed, it should be in rebuildrecentchanges.php or somewhere else.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] importDump and setting rc_bot

As far as I can tell, importDump does not mark imported pages as
coming from a bot, even when the user is a bot in the User table. Is
that correct? Is there a way to indicate a bot revision in the xml,
or do I need to do this in the db afterward?
