== Introduction == <!--T:1-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:2--> The following examples for <tvar name=1>{{ll|Extension:AbuseFilter}}</tvar> have proven useful in combating automated spam.</translate>
<translate><!--T:3--> Please change "your phrase or wiki markup" to something you see fit.</translate>
<translate><!--T:4--> The reason for not providing a standard phrase is to make it impossible for bot-creators to adapt to this filter (if a large number of wikis use the same filter, spammers can program their bots accordingly).</translate>

<translate>
== Examples == <!--T:5-->
</translate>
<pre>
!("autoconfirmed" in user_groups)
& action == "edit"
& (page_id == 0|length(added_links) >= 1)
& !("<translate nowrap><!--T:6--> your phrase</translate>" in summary | "<translate nowrap><!--T:7--> your phrase or wiki markup</translate>" in new_wikitext)
</pre>
<translate><!--T:8--> This example will block anonymous edits (and those from user without the "<tvar name=1>autoconfirmed</tvar>" status) if they are trying to create a new page or add a new link, but dont provide "your phrase" in the edit-summary or "your phrase or wiki markup" in the text they try to save.</translate>

<pre>
!("autoconfirmed" in user_groups)
& action == "edit"
& page_id == 0
& length(added_links) >= 1
& (contains_any( page_title , "Http", "@@@", "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" ) | length(page_title) > 50 )
</pre>
<translate><!--T:9--> This example will not allow users without "<tvar name=1>autoconfirmed</tvar>" status to create a new article with a name that either contains a number or "<tvar name=2>http</tvar>", or is longer than 50 characters.</translate>

<pre>
!("autoconfirmed" in user_groups)
& action == "edit"
& ( "REDIRECT" in removed_lines | "redirect" in removed_lines )
& edit_delta >= 100
</pre>
<translate><!--T:10--> In this example users without "<tvar name=1>autoconfirmed</tvar>" status will be unable to change redirect-pages into articles.</translate>

<pre>
!("autoconfirmed" in user_groups)
& action == "edit"
& removed_lines irlike "redirect"
& !(added_lines irlike "redirect")
</pre>
<translate><!--T:11--> In this example users without "<tvar name=1>autoconfirmed</tvar>" status will be unable to remove the phrase "redirect" from a page.</translate>
