Because a bot is capable of making several edits per minute, it may clog up [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. For this reason, any authorized bot for Destinypedia is required to have a bot flag. A bot flag is a [[Special:ListGroupRights|user group right]], and may be set on any account. Edits made by such accounts are hidden from Recent Changes by default. Accounts with a bot flag are listed [[Special:listusers/bot|here]].
