Bot edits in the data namespace are not hidden in Special:Recentchanges. These edits should be hidden.
Are they hidden in the other namespaces?
Yes, bot edits in the Wikidata-test namespace are hidden in Special:Recentchanges.
Update: After the demo system was updated yesterday, if MerlIwBot adds an item, then the edit is hidden (probably due to the bug-fix of bug 38354), but edits where he edits an existing item are not hidden.

Seems to be fine now. Mark as resolved duplicate of bug 38354 ?
Bot edits must be marked as such during editing, and the user must have the bot right. Hiding bots are part of the saving. Previously the flag was not respected. See also https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/15554/ I have not checked if the fix covers all respect of bot editing.
