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 Festipedia, and the automatic actions to be taken.
Important:
- PLEASE be careful. This is potent stuff. Unless it is urgent, 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 risk of disrupting Festipedia.
- Keep an eye on the log.
- Don't forget to define the appearance and description of any tags you use.
 | Please be careful when creating or modifying a filter. Even a single typo can potentially disrupt the editing of thousands of legitimate contributors. It is strongly recommended that you test your filters first before you enable any actions. If you cause problems, you may have your edit filter manager permission revoked. |
