Editing abuse filter

Filter parameters

Filter ID:	19
Description: (publicly viewable)
Conditions:	action == "edit" & equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 10) & !("confirmed" in user_groups) action == "edit" & equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 10) & !("confirmed" in user_groups)
Notes:	See [[Special:PermaLink/1084979456#IP user rapidly reverting edits]]. Might it be useful just to log or tag all rapid edits from new editors or IPs? No idea what throttle settings to use; starting at 8 edits in 300 seconds (1/5 the MediaWiki rate limit). Will probably have to change that to reduce logspam. Obviously, this should never be set to warn or disallow. --Suffusion of Yellow 18:33 27 Apr 2022 A bit too spammy. Try 10/300. --Suffusion of Yellow 19:02 1 May 2022 Limit to mainspace and templates; other hits uninteresting, or covered by other filters. --Suffusion of Yellow 21:13 10 May 2022 TEMP THROTTLE. Will revert in 30 minutes max. Tamzin 2:28, 24 May 2023 / extended, then reverted 11:54
