This distorts statistics such as number of active users and gives the impression that there are more edits/users than there actually is.

Solved by updating [mediawiki-extensions-SimpleBlogPage/src/Hook/CreateBlogRootPage.php at 3e37e67289e6674920bc692b036cf85a472eb38b · wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SimpleBlogPage · GitHub](https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SimpleBlogPage/blob/3e37e67289e6674920bc692b036cf85a472eb38b/src/Hook/CreateBlogRootPage.php#L81) to use a system user such as “Maintenance script” or “SimpleBlogPage extension”.

Alternatively I think supplying `EDIT_SUPPRESS_RC` to `$updater->saveRevision` might suppress it when counting active users as well.
