Extensión:AbuseFilter/Reglas de formato
Las reglas son un lenguaje especial. Tienen un formato similar a los condicionales en lenguajes como C, Java o Perl.
Cadenas
Puedes especificar un literal por colocar él en solo o doble cita (para configuraciones), o escribir en él (para números, ambos flotantes-punto y entero).
Puedes obtener saltos de línea con \n
, caracteres de tabulación con \t
y también puede escapar del carácter de comillas con una barra invertida.
Utilice el símbolo de +
(más) para concatenar dos cadenas literales o los valores de dos variables con un valor de cadena.
- Ejemplos
"Este es una cadena"
'Esto también es una cadena'
'Esta cadena no deber\ía fallar'
"Esta cadena\nTiene un salto de línea"
1234
1.234
-123
Variables definidas por el usuario
Puede definir variables personalizados para facilitar la comprensión con el símbolo de asignación :=
en una línea (cerrada por ;
) dentro de una condición.
Dichas variables pueden usar letras, guiones bajos y números (aparte del primer carácter) y no distinguen entre mayúsculas y minúsculas.
Ejemplo (de w:Special:AbuseFilter/79):
(
line1:="(\{\{(r|R)eflist|\{\{(r|R)efs|<references\s?/>|</references\s?>)";
rcount(line1, removed_lines)
) > (
rcount(line1, added_lines)
)
Arrays
AbuseFilter has support for non-associative arrays, which can be used like in the following examples.
Atención: | Expressions like page_namespace in [14, 15] may not work as expected. This one will evaluate to true also if page_namespace is 1, 4, or 5. For more information and possible workarounds, please see T181024. |
my_array := [ 5, 6, 7, 10 ];
my_array[0] == 5
length(my_array) == 4
int( my_array ) === 4 // Same as length
float( my_array ) === 4.0 // Cuenta los elementos
string(my_array) == "5\n6\n7\n10\n" // Note: the last linebreak could be removed in the future
5 in my_array == true
'5' in my_array == true
'5\n6' in my_array == true // Note: this is due to how arrays are casted to string, i.e. by imploding them with linebreaks
1 in my_array == true // Note: this happens because 'in' casts arguments to strings, so the 1 is caught in '10' and returns true.
my_array[] := 57; // This appends an element at the end of the array
my_array === [ 5, 6, 7, 10, 57 ]
my_array[2] := 42; // And this is for changing an element in the array
my_array === [ 5, 6, 42, 10, 57 ]
Comentarios
Puedes añadir comentarios usando la siguiente sintaxis:
/* Esto es un comentario */
Aritmética
Puede hacer aritmética en variables y literales con la siguiente sintaxis:
-
– Sustraer (restar) el operando de la derecha al de la izquierda.+
– Suma el operando de la derecha al de la izquierda.*
– Multiplica el operando de la derecha al de la izquierda/
– Divide el operando de la derecha al de la izquierda**
– Exponenciación en el operando de la derecha al de la izquierda.%
– Devuelve el resto obtenido al dividir el operando de la izquierda al de la derecha.
El tipo del resultado devuelto es el mismo que sería devuelto por PHP, para el cual se puede encontrar mucha documentación en línea. Se pueden encontrar ejemplos más exhaustivos en AF parser.
Ejemplo | Resultado |
---|---|
1 + 1 |
2 |
2 * 2 |
4 |
1 / 2 |
0.5 |
9 ** 2 |
81 |
6 % 5 |
1 |
Operadores booleanos
Se puede igualar si y sólo si todas las condiciones son ciertas, una de varias condiciones es verdad, o una y sólo una de todas las condiciones es verdad.
x | y
— OR – devuelve verdad si una o más de las condiciones son ciertas.x & y
— AND – devuelve verdad si ambas condiciones son ciertas.x ^ y
— XOR – devuelve verdadero si una, y sólo una, de las dos condiciones es verdadera.!x
— NOT – devuelve verdad si la condición no es verdadera.

Simple comparisons
<

– Return true if the left-hand operand is less than/greater than the right-hand operand respectively. Watch out: operands are casted to strings and, like it happens in PHP,null < any number === true
andnull > any number === false
.<=
,>=
– Return true if the left-hand operand is less than or equal to/greater than or equal to the right-hand operand respectively. Watch out: operands are casted to strings and, like it happens in PHP,null <= any number === true
andnull >= any number === false
.
==
(or=
),!=
– Return true if the left-hand operand is equal to/not equal to the right-hand operand respectively.
===
,!==
– Return true if the left-hand operand is equal to/not equal to the right-hand operand AND the left-hand operand is the same/not the same data type to the right-hand operand respectively.

Built-in variables
The abuse filter passes various variables by name into the parser. These variables can be accessed by typing their name in, in a place where a literal would work. You can view the variables associated with each request in the abuse log.
Variables de AbuseFilter
Variables always available
Atención: | User-related variables are always available, except for one case: account creation when the creator is not logged in. All variables starting with user_ are affected, except user_type . |
Descripción | Nombre | Tipo de dato | Apuntes |
---|---|---|---|
Acción | action |
cadena | One of the following: edit, move, createaccount, autocreateaccount, delete, upload[2], stashupload[3] |
Unix timestamp of change | timestamp |
cadena | int(timestamp) gives you a number with which you can calculate the date, time, day of week, etc. |

Código de idioma de la wiki ($1) | wiki_language |
string | For instance, this is "en" on the English Wikipedia, and "it" on the Italian Wikiquote. Multi-lingual wikis like Commons, Meta, and Wikidata will also report as "en". |
Contador de ediciones del usuario ($1) | user_editcount |
integer/null | Null only for unregistered users. |
Nombre de la cuenta de usuario ($1) (IP in case the user is not registered) | user_name |
cadena | For "createaccount" and "autocreateaccount" actions, use
accountname if you want the name of the account being created. |
Tipo de cuenta de usuario ($1) | user_type |
string | The type of the user, which will be one of ip , temp (if the user is using a temporary account ), named , external , or unknown .
|

string/null | In the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. Null if the email wasn't confirmed. |
Edad de la cuenta de usuario ($1) | user_age |
número entero | In seconds. 0 for unregistered users. |
Si el usuario está bloqueado ($1) | user_blocked |
booleano | True for blocked registered users. Also true for edits from blocked IP addresses, even if the editor is a registered user who is not blocked. False otherwise. This doesn't differentiate between partial and sitewide blocks.

|
ID de la página ($1) (can be seen via "page information" link in sidebar) | page_id |
número entero | This is 0 for new pages, but it is unreliable when inspecting past hits. If you need an exact result when inspecting past hits, use "page_age == 0" to identify new page creation. (note that it is slower, though.) This issue has been fixed in 9369d08, merged on September 11th 2023. |

Protected variables
A variable can be considered protected. For instance, on wikis with temporary accounts enabled, IPs are considered PII and access to them must be restricted.
Protected variables and filters that use them are only accessible to maintainers with the abusefilter-access-protected-vars
right.
Using a protected variable flags the filter as protected as well.
The filter subsequently cannot be unprotected, even if it no longer actively uses a protected variable, as its historical logs will remain available.
The default protected variables are defined in AbuseFilterProtectedVariables
in extension.json
.

Apuntes
When action='move'
, only the summary
, action
, timestamp
and user_*
variables are available.
The page_*
variables are also available, but the prefix is replaced by moved_from_
and moved_to_
, that represent the values of the original article name and the destination one, respectively.
For example, moved_from_title
and moved_to_title
instead of page_title
.
Since MediaWiki 1.28 (gerrit:295254), action='upload'
is only used when publishing an upload, and not for uploads to stash.
A new action='stashupload'
is introduced, which is used for all uploads, including uploads to stash.
This behaves like action='upload'
used to, and only provides file metadata variables (file_*
).
Variables related to the page edit, including summary
, new_wikitext
and several others, are now available for action='upload'
.
For every file upload, filters may be called with action='stashupload'
(for uploads to stash), and are always called with action='upload'
; they are not called with action='edit'
.
Filter authors should use action='stashupload' | action='upload'
in filter code when a file can be checked based only on the file contents – for example, to reject low-resolution files – and action='upload'
only when the wikitext parts of the edit need to be examined too – for example, to reject files with no description.
This allows tools that separate uploading the file and publishing the file (e.g. UploadWizard or upload dialog ) to inform the user of the failure before they spend the time filling in the upload details.
Performance
As noted in the table above, some of these variables can be very slow.
While writing filters, remember that the condition limit is not a good metric of how heavy filters are.
For instance, variables like *_recent_contributors
or *_links
always need a DB query to be computed, while *_pst
variables will have to perform parsing of the text, which again is a heavy operation; all these variables should be used very, very carefully.
For instance, on Italian Wikipedia it's been observed that, with 135 active filters and an average of 450 used conditions, filters execution time was around 500ms, with peaks reaching 15 seconds.
Removing the added_links
variable from a single filter, and halving the cases when another filter would use added_lines_pst
brought the average execution time to 50ms.
More specifically:
- Use
_links
variables when you need high accuracy and checking for "http://..." in other variables (for instance,added_lines
) could lead to heavy malfunctioning;
- Use
_pst
variables when you're really sure that non-PST variables aren't enough.
You may also conditionally decide which one to check: if, for instance, you want to examine a signature, check first if added_lines
contains ~~~
;
- In general, when dealing with these variables, it's always much better to consume further conditions but avoid computing heavy stuff.
In order to achieve this, always put heavy variables as last conditions.
Last but not least, note that whenever a variable is computed for a given filter, it'll be saved and any other filter will immediately retrieve it. This means that one single filter computing this variable counts more or less as dozens of filters using it.
Keywords
The following special keywords are included for often-used functionality:
like
(ormatches
) returns true if the left-hand operand matches the glob pattern in the right-hand operand.in
returns true if the right-hand operand (a string) contains the left-hand operand. Nota: empty strings are not contained in, nor contain, any other string (not even the empty string itself).contains
works likein
, but with the left and right-hand operands switched. Nota: empty strings are not contained in, nor contain, any other string (not even the empty string itself).rlike
(orregex

True | |
"o" in ["foo", "bar"]

True | Due to the string cast |
"foo" regex "\w+"

"a\b" regex "a\\\\b"
|
True | To look for the escape character backslash using regex you need to use either four backslashes or two \x5C . (Either works fine.)

Funciones
A number of built-in functions are included to ease some common issues.
They are executed in the general format functionName( arg1, arg2, arg3 )
, and can be used in place of any literal or variable.
Its arguments can be given as literals, variables, or even other functions.
Nombre | Descripción |
---|---|
lcase |
Returns the argument converted to lower case. |
ucase |
Returns the argument converted to upper case. |
length |
Returns the length of the string given as the argument. If the argument is an array, returns its number of elements. |
string |
Casts to string data type. If the argument is an array, implodes it with linebreaks. |
int |
Casts to integer data type. |
float |
Casts to floating-point data type. |
bool |
Casts to boolean data type. |
norm |
Equivalent to rmwhitespace(rmspecials(rmdoubles(ccnorm(arg1)))) .
|
ccnorm
|
Normalises confusable/similar characters in the argument, and returns a canonical form. A list of characters and their replacements can be found on git, e.g. ccnorm( "Eeèéëēĕėęě3ƐƷ" ) === "EEEEEEEEEEEEE" .[9] The output of this function is always uppercase. While not expensive, this function isn't cheap either, and could slow a filter down if called many times.
|
ccnorm_contains_any
|
Normalises confusable/similar characters in all its arguments, and returns true if the first string contains any string from the following arguments (unlimited number of arguments, logic OR mode). A list of characters and their replacements can be found on git. Due to the usage of ccnorm , this function can be slow if passed too many arguments.
|
ccnorm_contains_all
|
Normalises confusable/similar characters in all its arguments, and returns true if the first string contains every string from the following arguments (unlimited number of arguments, logic AND mode). A list of characters and their replacements can be found on git. Due to the usage of ccnorm , this function can be slow if passed too many arguments.
|
specialratio |
Returns the number of non-alphanumeric characters divided by the total number of characters in the argument. |
rmspecials |
Removes any special characters in the argument, and returns the result. Does not remove whitespace. (Equivalent to s/[^\p{L}\p{N}\s]//g.) |
rmdoubles |
Removes repeated characters in the argument, and returns the result. |
rmwhitespace |
Removes whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). |
count |
Returns the number of times the needle (first string) appears in the haystack (second string). If only one argument is given, splits it by commas and returns the number of segments. |
rcount
|
Similar to count but the needle uses a regular expression instead. Can be made case-insensitive by letting the regular expression start with "(?i)". Please note that, for plain strings, this function can be up to 50 times slower than count [10], so use that one when possible.
|
get_matches
|
MW 1.31+ Looks for matches of the regex needle (first string) in the haystack (second string). Returns an array where the 0 element is the whole match and every [n] element is the match of the n'th capturing group of the needle. Can be made case-insensitive by letting the regular expression start with "(?i)". If a capturing group didn't match, that array position will take value of false.
|
ip_in_range |
Returns true if user's IP (first string) matches the specified IP range (second string, can be in CIDR notation, explicit notation like "1.1.1.1-2.2.2.2", or a single IP). Only works for anonymous users. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. |
ip_in_ranges |
Returns true if user's IP (first string) matches any of the specified IP ranges (following strings in logic OR mode, can be in CIDR notation, explicit notation like "1.1.1.1-2.2.2.2", or a single IP). Only works for anonymous users. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
|
contains_any |
Returns true if the first string contains any string from the following arguments (unlimited number of arguments in logic OR mode). If the first argument is an array, it gets casted to string. |
contains_all |
Returns true if the first string contains every string from the following arguments (unlimited number of arguments in logic AND mode). If the first argument is an array, it gets casted to string. |
equals_to_any |
Returns true if the first argument is identical (=== ) to any of the following ones (unlimited number of arguments). Basically, equals_to_any(a, b, c) is the same as a===b | a===c , but more compact and saves conditions.
|
substr |
Returns the portion of the first string, by offset from the second argument (starts at 0) and maximum length from the third argument (optional). |
strlen |
Same as length .
|
strpos
|
Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle (second string) in the haystack (first string), starting from offset from the third argument (optional, default is 0). This function may return 0 when the needle is found at the beginning of the haystack, so it might be misinterpreted as false value by another comparative operator. The better way is to use === or !== for testing whether it is found. Differently from PHP's strpos(), which returns false when the needle is not found, this function returns -1 when the needle is not found.
|
str_replace |
Replaces all occurrences of the search string with the replacement string. The function takes 3 arguments in the following order: text to perform the search on, text to find, replacement text. |
str_replace_regexp |
Replaces all occurrences of the search string with the replacement string using regular expressions. The function takes 3 arguments in the following order: text to perform the search on, regular expression to match, replacement expression. |
rescape |
Returns the argument with some characters preceded with the escape character "\", so that the string can be used in a regular expression without those characters having a special meaning. |
set |
Sets a variable (first string) with a given value (second argument) for further use in the filter. Another syntax: name := value .
|
set_var |
Same as set .

Order of operations
Operations are generally done left-to-right, but there is an order to which they are resolved. As soon as the filter fails one of the conditions, it will stop checking the rest of them (due to short-circuit evaluation) and move on to the next filter. The evaluation order is:
- Anything surrounded by parentheses (
(
and)
) is evaluated as a single unit. - Turning variables/literals into their respective data. (e.g.,
page_namespace
to 0) - Function calls (
norm
,lcase
, etc.) - Unary
+
and-
(defining positive or negative value, e.g.-1234
,+1234
) - Keywords (
in
,rlike
, etc.) - Boolean inversion (
!x
) - Exponentiation (
2**3 → 8
) - Multiplication-related (multiplication, division, modulo)
- Addition and subtraction (
3-2 → 1
) - Comparisons (
<
,>
,==
) - Boolean operations (
&
,|
,^
) - Ternary operator (
... ? ... : ...
) - Assignments (
:=
)
Ejemplos
A & B | C
is equivalent to(A & B) | C
, not toA & (B | C)
. In particular, bothfalse & true | true
andfalse & false | true
evaluates totrue
.A | B & C
is equivalent to(A | B) & C
, not toA | (B & C)
. In particular, bothtrue | true & false
andtrue | false & false
evaluates tofalse
.added_lines rlike "foo" + "|bar"
is wrong, useadded_lines rlike ("foo" + "|bar")
instead.
Condition counting
The condition limit is (more or less) tracking the number of comparison operators + number of function calls entered.
Further explanation on how to reduce conditions used can be found at Extension:AbuseFilter/Conditions .
Exclusiones
Aunque la función del AbuseFilter identificará las acciones "rollback" como "edit", el AbuseFilter no evaluará las acciones para la coincidencia.[11]
