User:ThePhantomBot/Edit Codes
When ThePhantomBot makes an edit, it includes an edit code at the end of the edit summary it uses. These edit codes help determine the type of edit that was made and can sometimes include more information than could not easily be communicated using normal edit summaries. Edit codes are not used as edit summary replacements, instead they add on to the information given by the edit summary. Edit codes are in the format P-S, where P is some prefix and S is a suffix, all edit codes on this page are grouped by their prefixes.
Suffixes are color coded as:
- Unused
- Inactive
- Todo
- Partialy Implemented
- Complete
T: Test Edits
Test edits are performed only in the bot's user space. The suffixes used are integers from zero and up. T-0 refers to an edit where an edit summary was not assigned properly in code, all edits using the T-0 code should be reported. All other suffixes are chosen to separate different tests or different parts of tests.
