MediaWiki:Abusefilter-intro

Welcome to the Edit Filter management interface. Using the Edit Filter, authorized users can configure a wide range of tests which may help identify and prevent potentially harmful edits and other activities before they are added to the wiki, and the automatic actions to be taken.

Guidelines for creating and editing filters:
 * PLEASE be careful. This is potent stuff. If you can, always test your filters with no actions enabled first.
 * The examine and test interfaces are awesome for learning the ropes. They let you look at specific edits and filters in detail, without real-world consequences.
 * Keep an eye on the log.
