Notes:

Enabling with warning and "possible vandalism" tag. --Kaldari 2016-11-15
Adding global ip block exempt part --Trijnstel 2019-11-28
-Modified from global ip block exempt to usergroups approach as abuse filter was catching SWMT members - riley 20200111
--Adding global ip block exempt back, apparently was being used for SWMT members that didn't have GR/GS - riley 20200121

Set to disallow, all recent catches seems to be okay. Ignore autoconfirmed users. --MU
Ignore user accounts older than 500 000 -- billinghurst

Setting to just disallow per discussion at [[Special:Permalink/26756793#Continued_discussion_about_special:abusefilter/131_being_set_to_just_disallow]], also cleaned up the syntax and removed the redundant user_group check, because the preceding user_rights check already covers all of then. --XXBlackburnXx 15:44 11 May 2024

Checking if the content_model equals to wikitext, due to false positives with wikidata. --XXBlackburnXx 15:00 12 May 2024
