--- Comment #31 from Helder <[email protected]> ---
Here is some data on the current usage of the AbuseFilter on ptwiki[1]. There
are:
* 82 filters enabled:
** 8 private filters
** 46 filters tagging edits
** 34 filters warning users
** 19 filters disallowing the matched edits
** 3 filters with throttle
* 38 edits on filters in 2013:
** each of them made by one of 10 different users[2].
** a significant part (20) of these edits were not related to vandalism
fighting, but to make "partial blocks" of specific users (e.g. from editing
certain namespaces until bug 28530 is solved) or pages (to avoid edit wars).
** there was only one filter changed from "warn" to "disallow"[3], but we still
lack a good way to find good candidates for this kind of change (e.g. the
"false positives count" mentioned on bug 28213).

There may be space for abusefilter-related improvements but I don't see enough
people with the interest or skills needed for that.
