Importing text files subtly - edit.php

Through using the --no-rc flag.

I've previously had text files injected into the system through edit.php, but it ends of showing all the edits is recent changes, which masks other people's normal edits.

I'd like some advice of the best way to get around this please, as I can see a few ways to explore.

1) Perhaps I'm just not understanding the recent changes filters and there's some way to exclude these edits, perhaps with a specific user?

2) Use a bot?

3) Iframe from another site - not ideal

4) Setup a whole new wiki and transclude from there?


Many thanks

The Edit.php has the --no-rc flag to "not show the change in recent changes". Doesn't that work?🤔

Missed that, thank you!!!

From a slightly embarrassed but grateful person.
