Problem: In large Wikipedias, for example, in English [1] and Russian [2], proxies are blocked by several bots. This clutters the log very much, which does not allow you to somehow track what happens with locks in the project. It would be cool to be able to see the block log without being cluttered by bots.
Proposed solution: There are several solutions, ranging from creating a new type of blocking (proxy block log) to introducing a separate mark for bots.
Question: @Iniquity: to be clear, you don't want to "clear" as in erase/remove these from the log - just have a way to filter them (such as you can filter bot edits on watchlists) correct? — xaosfluxTalk15:01, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Special:Logs includes a Tag filter which can be inverted. It should be possible to tag bot log actions with an edit filter, so we could theoretically implement a version of this proposal today. -FASTILY10:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What Fastily said. Bots making these blocks can be filtered out today if we make a tag for it and then use the existing facilities. I think that'd be a great idea to change the existing bot(s), which CommTech could assist with if necessary. Izno (talk) 06:53, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Hopefully relatively straightforward. It's quite difficult to review blocks made on the English Wikipedia due to the sheer number of proxy blocks. Sdrqaz (talk) 18:03, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
