Allow bot accounts to mark edits as patrolled on Zh Wiktionary
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description:
Sorry to bother again. Would it be possible to enable Patrolled edits for admins
as well as bots? If it is possible, would it be possible to enable Patrolled
edits for bots also on the Chinese Wiktionary (zh.wiktionary.org)?

Thanks a million!

Why would bots need that possibility? Is there a specific reason? As far as I
get it, patrolling should be done by real people, not mindless robots. Or has AI
had a breakthrough?

already approved as bots, I don't see any reason why their edits should still
have an exclamation mark beside them.

Oh. That's more like it. It seems sane, so I'd also like that feature, although
I almost never use patrolling.

As it stands, if bots were given the right to patrol edits, then their owners
could set the bots' preferences to use the "auto-patrol edits I make" feature.

I've set this; please confirm that it actually works. :)
