In Mediawiki's extension:AbuseFilter, the page "Special:AbuseFilter/test" allows for the testing of recent edits against a filter. On numbers of wikis, the bots operating at high rates mean that significant of the edits being tested can be bot edits, which is for the vast bulk of edits can be less than useful, and limiting when wanting to test against new users, or IP addresses.
It would be useful to have an option to exclude bot edits by the user field, and to set that as a default option

Currently, /test only allows searching within those actions (edits, moves, etc.) that are in the recentchanges table; good news is that table as a column called rc_bot which should be easy to filter.
Adding @Daimona who I think will be able to make a patch quickly.
