-- Every registered user would be able to flag edit as tool edit (bot
needs special user group)
Vandals would have fun with that, but bot group could be set up like that
(e.g. "flood" group)
-- The flag wouldn't be intended for use by
robots, but regular users
who used some automated tool in order to make the edit
Semantics of flags are up to wiki communities. They can make it mean
whatever they desire.
-- Users could optionally mark any edit as tool edit
through API only
So like the bot flag (if they have the rights) :p
other suggestion that was somewhere else in thread
about retroactively
matking rdits
Sounds kind of like the little known bot rollback feature minus the
rollback aspect.

This sounds either like you are proposing the bot flag, with a minor
varation in the user given semantics. Or are proposing multiple levels of
bot flaggedness so that tool edits could be independently hidden in rc
separate from "tool" edits.
