Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks! Have marked the abuse filter as deleted, then, since it's redundant.

Just to note, along with the Title blacklist, it’s now (also) restricted for administrators by AF (https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/36). Just curious what will be done from server side, making it completely non-edit/create/delete/moveable while keeping the current contents. Is that going under the same task?
