Welcome to the Abuse Filter management interface. The Abuse Filter (or edit filter) is an automated software mechanism of applying automatic heuristics to all actions. This interface shows a list of defined filters, and allows them to be modified.
 |
Please be careful when you create or edit abuse filters. It is strongly recommended that you test your abuse filters first before enabling any actions. If you are not sure about something, please ask for help. Some actions (such as blocking) are restricted and only abuse filter administrators or stewards can add them or modify filters that use them. |
