This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212268> for more information and future plans. *Problems* - [image: Advanced item] In AbuseFilter <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter>, the "Throttle" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter/Actions#Throttling>. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P7956>. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them.
