+What happens when an editor triggers an edit filter? Do they notice this at all?
+
+As described in the previous section, a variety of different actions may occur when a filter gets tripped.
+These include: disallow, warn, tag, throttle, log..
+For the more severe ones, the editor is notified that they hit a filter:
+a warning message is displayed if the filter action was set to disallow/warn.
+These warnings describe the problem that occurred and present the editor with possible actions:
+complain on the FalsePositives page (link!) in case of a disallow,
+or, complain on the FalsePositives page and publish the change anyway in case of a warning.
+On the other hand, when the filter action is set to "tag" or "log" only, the editor doesn't really notice they tripped a filter unless they are looking more closely.
+Tagged edits are marked as such in the page's revision history (see screenshot)
+and all edits that trigger an edit filter are listed in the AbuseLog (link) (see screenshot).
If the filter is set to disallow, a specific template is shown to the editor: "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, so it has been disallowed. If this edit is constructive, please report this error. Disruptive editing may result in a block from editing."
"report this error" links to the FalsePositives page: \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives}

So far, I haven't managed to trigger a filter with a different action.
