Abuse filter management

Welcome to the Abuse Filter management interface. This interface shows a list of defined filters, and allows them to be created or modified. Using the Abuse Filter, authorized users can configure tests which may help identify potentially harmful edits, and automatically take preventative actions.

Please be careful when creating or modifying a filter. Even a single typo can potentially disrupt the editing of hundreds of legitimate contributors. It is strongly recommended that you test your filters first before you enable any actions. If you are not sure about something, don't try it without technical assistance.

Of the last 518 actions, 0 (0%) have reached the condition limit of 2,000, and 50 (9.65%) have matched at least one of the filters currently enabled.
