Do we know if this happens outside the wikitext desktop source editor?

I don't know, I just included other editing interfaces in the acceptance criteria to make sure that we check for this while working on the task

After further testing, it looks like MobileFrontend source editor ignores the AbuseFilter "warn" consequence and allows the edit to be saved. That's a bug on its own, but separate from this issue. The other interfaces seem fine (VE on desktop/mobile, DiscussionTools), so it's just deskop wikitext editor that needs a fix.

@kostajh One thing I notice is that if I trigger an AbuseFilter which has both the warn and showcaptcha consequences, I am shown the warning twice and have to fill in the hCaptcha challenge twice.

I don't know how common such filters will be on production (I have only found one on enwiki, which is currently disabled).

Thanks for flagging that. I would say that's probably enough of an edge case to not worry about for now.

I can no longer reproduce the bug in the description. I have raised T429569 for the bug described in T428437#12004543.
