| # 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"
| |
| ```
