| | # Notes for AbuseFilter Rule: Protecting the Stub Notice |
|
| |
|
| | ## Purpose |
| | This rule prevents non-moderator users (users not in the "sysop" group) from removing the `{{StubNotice}}` template from pages. This ensures that the stub notice remains in place until a moderator reviews and approves its removal. |
| | |
| | --- |
| | |
| | ## Rule Explanation |
| | |
| | ### `removed_lines rlike "{{StubNotice}}"` |
| | - **What it does:** |
| | - Checks if the edit removes the `{{StubNotice}}` template from the content. |
| | - The `rlike` operator looks for the exact string `{{StubNotice}}` in the lines removed during the edit. |
| | |
| | - **How to modify:** |
| | - To protect a different template, replace `{{StubNotice}}` with the name of the desired template. |
| | - Example: To protect `{{ImportantNotice}}`, update to: |
| | ```plaintext |
| | removed_lines rlike "{{ImportantNotice}}" |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | --- |
| | |
| | ### `!user_groups contains "sysop"` |
| | - **What it does:** |
| | - Ensures the rule applies only to users who are not in the "sysop" group. |
| | - The `!` operator negates the condition, meaning users in the "sysop" group are exempt from this restriction. |
| | |
| | - **How to modify:** |
| | - To exempt additional groups, add more checks with the `|` (OR) operator. |
| | - Example: To also exempt "bureaucrat" users, update to: |
| | ```plaintext |
| | !user_groups contains "sysop" | !user_groups contains "bureaucrat" |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | --- |
| | |
| | ### Logical Operators |
| | - **`&` (AND):** Combines the conditions. Both conditions must be true for the rule to trigger: |
| | - The edit must remove the `{{StubNotice}}` template (`removed_lines rlike`). |
| | - The user must not belong to the "sysop" group (`!user_groups contains "sysop"`). |
| | |
| | --- |
| | |
| | ## Summary of What This Rule Does |
| | 1. Detects edits that attempt to remove the `{{StubNotice}}` template. |
| | 2. Blocks these edits if the user is not in the "sysop" group. |
| | |
| | --- |
| | |
| | ## How to Adjust the Rule |
| | 1. **Change the Template Being Protected:** |
| | - Replace `{{StubNotice}}` in `removed_lines rlike` with the desired template name. |
| | - Ensure the template name matches exactly, including capitalization and braces. |
| | |
| | 2. **Expand Privileged Groups:** |
| | - Add more groups to the exemption condition using `|`. |
| | - Example: To exempt both "sysop" and "editor" groups: |
| | ```plaintext |
| | !user_groups contains "sysop" | !user_groups contains "editor" |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | 3. **Allow Specific Actions for Certain Users:** |
| | - To allow only specific users (not groups) to remove the notice, you can add a condition for the user's name: |
| | ```plaintext |
| | user_name == "SpecificUser" |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | --- |
| | |
| | ## Practical Examples |
| | - **Protecting Multiple Templates:** |
| | ```plaintext |
| | (removed_lines rlike "{{StubNotice}}" | removed_lines rlike "{{ImportantNotice}}") & !user_groups contains "sysop" |
| | - **Exempting More Groups:** |
| | ```plaintext |
| | removed_lines rlike "{{StubNotice}}" & !user_groups contains "sysop" | !user_groups contains "bureaucrat" |
| | ``` |
