Great question though I believe you don't want the screen to go blank (what you wrote suggests you do). I know if you delete 500 pages in a short period you can cause Wiki Activity to go blank (recorded in Recent Changes as 500 deletes). From my knowledge Wiki Activity is constructed from Recent Changes and Help:Bots states all bot edits are hidden from Recent Changes to prevent flooding human edits. Based off this, no bot edits will be in Recent Changes so Wiki Activity shouldn't be effected by the bot's edits. You can always ask Staff before you get the bot flag to confirm.
