The abuse filter (or edit filter) is a tool that allows administrators to enable controls on some types of unconstructive or disruptive changes, while abuse filter administrators have greater access to such controls; users can be blocked from viewing and editing edit filters by a steward. The current filters can be found on Special:AbuseFilter. Abuse filters can cause huge disruption if they are incorrectly configured or if even a small mistake happens.
