Wikipedia has no firm rules
Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making exceptions. Be bold but not reckless in updating articles. And do not agonize over making mistakes: every past version of a page is saved, so mistakes can be easily corrected.
* an idea for the presi/written text: begin and end every part (section/paragraph) with a question: what question do I want to answer here? what question is still open?
* How many of the edit filter managers also run bots. How do they decide in which case to implement a bot and in which a filter?
* Why are there mechanisms triggered before an edit gets published (such as edit filters), and such triggered afterwards (such as bots)? Is there a qualitative difference?
* do bots check also entire article text and not only single edits? as a clever person with malicious intentions I could split my malicious stuff into several edits to make it more difficult to discover -- unklar. ich hab das gefühl, die sind schon edit-basiert

* how stable is the edit filter managers group? how often are new editors accepted? (who/how nominates them? maybe there aren't very many accepted, but then again if only 2 apply and both are granted the right, can you then claim it's exclusive?) -- I think it's somewhat stable. In the last 3 months nothing has changed; for instance, mid-end 2017 there was somewhat high traffic of people requesting edit-filter-helper permissions, since it was newly implemented around that time (before that you could only get the full edit filter manager or nothing at all); it also seems that since then the practice was established that people would request edit filter helper first and only then be perhaps promoted to edit filter manager
