I sometimes find requests from newly created wikis for help with setting up AbuseFilter rules on that wiki. So I'm wondering which specific docs to point to (and if docs might welcome some improvements).
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter#Creating_and_managing_filters is probably the most relevant starting point for Wikimedia site admins?
** Might welcome a basic high-level explanation for newcomers, like "You define rules, and you define actions. When these rules match, these actions are executed" or such? (If those terms are correct and consistent.) I admit the AbuseFilter UI confuses me as a newcomer but I also guess that is unavoidable with such a complex tool...
** Wondering if the "To import filters from Wikipedia" part requires specific account permissions on both wikis? (Should probably say "from another wiki", as I also find AbuseFilter on non-Wikipedia sites?)
** Should https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter/Global really be linked here? If I understand correctly, that does nor seem to be relevant for Wikimedia community members, but for administrators who manage their own MediaWiki installations?
* `Special:AbuseFilter` lists all existing AbuseFilters on a wiki
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter/Rules_format documents the format of rules.
** `Special:AbuseFilter/tools` allows to test expressions (which are the criteria applied for rules) but is only linked in two places and not very discoverable, it seems.
