MediaWiki:Abusefilter-intro

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 the wiki, and the automatic actions to be taken.

Important:
 * Make sure you're familiar with the guideline before creating or modifying filters.
 * PLEASE be careful. This is potent stuff. Unless it's 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 the encyclopedia.
 * Keep an eye on the log.
 * For guidance on how to use tags, see FAMEPedia:Tags. Don't forget to define their appearance and description.
