Translations:Meta:Flood flag/1/en

The Flood flag, sometimes referred to as a pseudo-bot flag and designed to prevent RecentChanges flooding, is a temporary user group that administrators can grant either to themselves or to other users when performing mass editing or log actions on a repetitive basis that is, or is likely to be, non-controversial. Though less common, global functionaries, inclusive of Stewards and Global Sysops, can also add and remove the  flag from their own account, without involvement of a Meta administrator. Administrator discretion applies both to the length or manner in which the flood flag is added as well as to the reason(s) for which the flood flag is added.
