I am elevating this bug to the highest priority, because the abuse filter in
its latest implementation is still not correctly filtering out swear words
properly, and this is having a negative impact on the editor workload.

Reaper Eternal, an experienced filter editor on Wikipedia, was kind enough to
help address this issue by consolidating all vandalism filters into a single
filter, #460 - Feedback: Common Vandalism:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/460

However, this consolidation created an other problem, because the amount of
posts containing swear words was so high that this filter was automatically
disabled as a safety measure (matching more than 5% of actions).

So one possible solution for addressing this issue would be to separate out the
swear words into separate filters, so that they would not exceed that limit.
This is what filter editor Sole Soul did, by moving the 'new_size <5' condition
to a separate filter, as shown in the filter notes below.

"Merging from 461, 472, 473, 474, and 475. --Reaper 2012-08-17

Move the "new_size < 5" condition -one of the most matched conditions- to a
separate filter (458). The aim is to make this filter match < 5% of actions.
