Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Option to filter bots from the block log

Random proposal ►◄ Admins and patrollers The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Option to filter bots from the block log

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.
Who would benefit: Admins and Editors

Discussion

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? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:01, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, thanks, you are right! I want to filter them. Iniquity (talk) 15:05, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have renamed your proposal to reflect this. I hope that is OK. DWalden (WMF) (talk) 13:49, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) Iniquity (talk) 15:38, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bot edits should not be seen in the standard log, just like Recent changes. Thingofme (talk) 03:17, 28 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. -FASTILY 10:25, 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]
Here we have 4903 QBA-bot out of 5000. At least this bot must be filtered! These 5000 entries only cover 1 hour of time.--Jaguar K (talk) 22:09, 23 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]

Support Not sure but it might also make sense to add this kind of feature to the history/deleted revisions interfaces. ~~~~
