Out of the 154 edit filter managers only 11 are not administrators (most of them have other privileged groups such as ``rollbacker'', ``pending changes reviewer'', ``extended confirmed user'' and similar though).

\subsection{Urgent situations}
Throughout the documentation, there are several provisions for urgent situations.
-For instance, generally, every new filter should be tested extensively in logging mode only (without any further actions) until a sufficient number of edits has demonstrated that it does indeed filter what it was intended to and there aren't too many false positives.
+For instance, generally, every new filter should be tested extensively in logging mode only (without any further filter actions enabled) until a sufficient number of edits has demonstrated that it does indeed filter what it was intended to and there aren't too many false positives.
As a matter of fact, caution is solicited both on the edit filter description page~\cite{Wikipedia:EditFilter} and on the edit filter management page~\cite{Wikipedia:EditFilterManagement}.
Only then the filter should have ``warn'' or ``disallow'' actions enabled~\cite{Wikipedia:EditFilter}.
%TODO move this to the introducing a filter part, where it's mentioned for the first time that filters should be "log only" in the beginning; move verything else to further studies/long list of interesting questions

Probably it's simply admins who can modify the filters there.
