MediaWiki:Abusefilter-intro

From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group

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.
