Commons:File renaming/Global replace/Abuse Filter

If you are an Abuse Filter editor of a Wikimedia Wiki, or you are administrator (a user belonging to the sysop user group), you most likely have necessary permission for creating an Abuse Filter to prevent Commons Global Replace edits submitted by individual user accounts. You might have various reasons for doing so, for example to prevent edits that are not automatically patrolled. In case these edits are prevented, Commons Global Replace system will instruct CommonsDelinker (a global bot) which will then carry out the edit. It would be kind, though, if you would notify Wikimedia Commons about such opt-outs (and the reasons), as this will help us to understand our Media file's users better and we can design our software more efficiently and intelligently.

How to create a new filter

Convenience way

Navigate to Special:AbuseFilter/import on your wiki, insert the following text and press Import data:

{"row":{"af_id":"148","af_pattern":"(action === 'edit')\r\n\u0026 !('autopatrol' in user_rights)\r\n\u0026 (summary rlike '^\\(\\[\\[c\\:GR\\|GR\\]\\]\\)')","af_user":"16603","af_user_text":"Rillke","af_timestamp":"20150201145938","af_enabled":"1","af_comments":"Prevent non-autopatrolled users from replacing files on this wiki.\r\nReference: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:File_renaming/Global_replace/Abuse_Filter","af_public_comments":"Disallow Commons Global Replace","af_hidden":"0","af_hit_count":"2","af_throttled":"0","af_deleted":"0","af_actions":"disallow","af_global":"0","af_group":"default"},"actions":{"disallow":{"action":"disallow","parameters":[""]}}}
