 \textbf{Definition}
 
 According to EN Wikipedia's own definition, an edit filter is ``a tool that allows editors in the edit filter manager group to set controls mainly[1] to address common patterns of harmful editing.
-[1] Edit filters can and have been used to track or tag certain non-harmful edits, for example addition of WikiLove.'' (\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter}).
+[1] Edit filters can and have been used to track or tag certain non-harmful edits, for example addition of WikiLove.''~\cite{WikipediaEditFilter}.
+%TODO how to quote an excerpt containing a footnote?
 
-Interestingly, 
+Interestingly, at its introduction, the mechanism was called ``Abuse Filter'' and was later renamed to ``edit filter''.
+We can observe the legacy name in the name of the MediaWiki extention for instance.
+The new name (``edit filter'') is ``currently used for user-facing elements of the filter as some of the edits it flags are not harmful''~\cite{WikipediaEditFilter}.
+%TODO what was the motivation behind the rename? signaling it's not only targeting vandals but also intending to assist good faith editors?

-"The edit filter is a tool that allows editors in the edit filter manager group to set controls mainly[1] to address common patterns of harmful editing.
-[1] Edit filters can and have been used to track or tag certain non-harmful edits, for example addition of WikiLove."
 
+%TODO: rephrase this as a second paragraph
 "A filter automatically compares every edit made to Wikipedia against a defined set of conditions. If an edit matches the conditions of a filter, that filter will respond by logging the edit. It may also tag the edit summary, warn the editor, revoke his/her autoconfirmed status, and/or disallow the edit entirely.[2]"
 Footnote 2: "The extension also allows for temporary blocking, but these features are disabled on the English Wikipedia." <-- TODO: Is there wikipedia on which it isn't disallowed?
 // do the users notice the logging? or only "bigger" actions such as warnings/being blocked, etc.?
 
-* Has the definition changed over time (Abuse filters --> edit filters)
-"The term "edit filter" rather than "abuse filter" is currently used for user-facing elements of the filter as some of the edits it flags are not harmful;[1] the terms are otherwise synonymous."
