Description

See linked discussion.

If we mark the edit as a bot in the user talk namespace, the user will still receive a notification. But if we post on some other page, it'll get hidden from user's watchlists/RC, which is not what we want.

This causes RCs to be flooded.

Which RCs? (I can only think of minor "floods" on Meta right now.)
