Help:New filters for edit review/en

New Filters for Edit Review is a beta option that adds new filtering and other tools as well as an improved filtering interface to Special:RecentChanges and Special:RecentChangesLinked (initially).

These improvements help reviewers to better target their efforts and be more efficient. They also have the potential to particularly benefit new contributors, who require a more supportive edit-review process, according to research.
