Forum:Abusefilter

Abusefilter is an extension enabled on request at Wikia which heavily helps prevent vandalism and spam and logs who/what/when/where/why it throttled a user. Essentially, administrators can create "filters" which basically are rules of what should flag it, and what it should do. Here is an example of a filter: from Wook, it would disallow a new user (whose account is less than 4 days old) from blanking/removing most content from a mainspace article (unless they are redirecting the page). I think having this extension added would definitely help with the constant vandalism here and keep the wiki a lot cleaner.

See http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter for more filters as examples.
