Option to start sending bot flag only after the first N edits #30

Open RheingoldRiver opened 3 years ago

The goal is to give some visibility in recent changes of the current task before adding the bot flag and suppressing from RC.

This could also be implemented as an option to switch accounts after the first N edits; the first N edits are performed as you and the rest are as the bot.

Suggestion: by default the first 3 or 5 actions are visible (option 1, default=true). Option 2 (default=false) allows using two accounts... Actually, a topic for a separate discussion, do we want to have the ability to configure separate and parallel "user" accounts for low-rate/low-volume, "manual-like" actions? Then we would have two accounts set up, "manual"/"user" and "bot", and Option 2, if enabled, would use the pre-configured "manual" account for N actions and the other pre-configured "bot" account for the rest.

Another suggestion: 1 per X edits (large X, probably hard-coded to be no less than 10? Defaulting to 50 or 100?) Might be useful for very large, long-term tasks, to say "still going after N hours"
