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. Please test filters before enabling any actions. |
