Separate tag for machine-translated articles

Hi,

Is it possible to add a separate tag to distinguish edits made with Content Translation with machine translation and without machine translation?

Machine translation has just been enabled in Ukrainian Wikipedia, but our previous experience with machine translations (including those done by Yandex) is very negative, as machine translations often generate meaningless phrases in Ukrainian. In order to study the impact of this, we would like to be able to distinguish Content Translation edit with machine translation and with human translation. AFAIK Content Translation does calculate % of machine-translated text, but can we capture cases where this % is non-null?

Thanks

I coded a very quick-and-dirty script here: . It's very limited at the moment, but anybody who is good with gadgets development can try developing it further.

I agree that getting such information should be more comfortable. I reported the following relevant bugs:
