MediaWiki:Abusefilter-intro

Welcome to the Abuse Filter management interface. Using the Abuse 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 risk of disrupting the wiki.
 * Keep an eye on the log.
 * For guidance on how to use tags, see Tags. Don't forget to define their appearance and description.
