Extension:AbuseFilterBypass/de-formal

The AbuseFilterBypass extension allows privileged users to skip all AbuseFilters defined and configured in the  extension. It is primarily intended for wiki farms like or, where there is a need to have one user group—  for these sites—that is global (shared between all wikis on the farm) and more trusted than individual local wikis' admins. For a regular single-wiki installation, there is probably no need to install this extension and people who can edit abuse filters can easily edit or disable harmful filters that would unintentionally affect the wiki's admins.

The AbuseFilterBypass extension requires the  hook, which was added to the AbuseFilter extension in commit 7edf12dbc6d9421d668619acd4abfe68af081f41, committed on 13 August 2019 (see phab:T229252).

The extension was originally written by Nelson Monterroso for and amended in July 2019 by Jack Phoenix for .

User rights
The extension adds one new user right,, which by default is granted to the   user group. (By default, there is no  user group in MediaWiki, so if such a group doesn't exist, this extension effectively creates it by giving it the   user right.)
