User blog comment:The Gunny/Bot flag request/@comment-2207030-20141206015246/@comment-4565203-20141206020406

I've already placed a notice on the bot account's page informing everyone that if the thing starts going amuk to block it (which any sysop can do). And the only reason why it would go amuk is if I make it, which I don't intend to. I tend to make a few practice edits with the bot before I let it loose on pages, to be sure I've got the regexes set up right. Also, if for some reason I do screw something up with the bot, e.g. screw up renaming a template parameter, I can always change it right back with the bot.

Also, since it's only AWB (autowiki browser), and not a fully scripted bot like pywikibot, there's only so much it can even do. It really just makes it easier and faster to make repetitive minor edits, e.g. changing all the links to the Cult of the Vault page on location pages. A ton of edits, but simple and repetitive. Also, the bot flag I'm asking for would "hide" the edits on rc, unless you toggle "show bots" on.
