abusefilter-revert needs documentation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:T0sjtnc0jsp8rv29 the abusefilter-revert option needs better documentation to help users understand how to use it and what the tool will do. Actually no information exist. Thank you.

Event Timeline

Looking at the code, you can specify a filter an a time period (with wfTimestamp-compatible timestamps, given in the user's local time), and it will show a list of the reversible actions (blocking, degrouping, adding to autpromote blacklist) of that filter in that time period and allows the user to mass-revert them. Requires the abusefilter-revert right, accessible via a link at the bottom of the filter edit form.

Haven't tried it out so take with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I got to the same conclusion. I'll send a patch for this.

Daimona claimed this task.

I added basic documentation on mediawiki. As noted in the summary, it may be expanded in the future, but the scope of this task was to provide a basic documentation for this feature, which we now have.
