Default to most recent non-bot edit when "hide bots" option is enabled
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: erich.martinson

Description:
Enhancement suggestion:
Change the default watchlist behavior so that when "hide bots" option is enabled, the most recent non-bot option is displayed instead.
I am sure that many users would expect this to be the default behavior, and are therefore puzzled when recent non-bot edits to a watched page are hidden from their watchlist if the most recent edit is by a bot.

This issue is already covered by bug 9790. I don't see how to indicate that above. Not sure if I should change the status, so leaving that alone.

Note: I submitted this bug earlier today using a new account I'd created before I realized I already had one. Sorry for any confusion.
