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? ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ.

Hmm, bot edits are only observed as "bot edits" in the recentchanges table. Edits by bots in the revision table are not actually flagged as bot edits.

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.

OK, I've just modified the rebuildRecentChanges.php code on SVN /trunk to flag bot edits.
Tested on my test wiki at localhost.
