* Filter trigger before a publication, Bots trigger afterwads
** that's positive! editors get immmediate feedback and can adjust their (good faith) edit and publish it! which is psychologically better than publish something and have it reverted in 2 days
* thought: filter are human centered! (if a bot edits via the API, can it trigger a filter? Actually, I think yes, there were a couple of filters with something like "vandalbot" in their public comment)
* there seems to be a hart condition limit for filters: so the active ones are best of! which filters are best-of? a theory: "I've combated so and so many occurances of vandalism X with my bot. Let us implement a filter for this"
* there seems to be a hard condition limit for filters: so the active ones are best of! which filters are best-of? a theory: "I've combated so and so many occurances of vandalism X with my bot. Let us implement a filter for this"
* what part of the quality control work do humans take over? (in contrast to the algorithmic mechanisms)
* what's filters' genesis story? why were they implemented? (compare with Rambot story) : try to reconstruct by examining traces and old page versions
* Huggle, Twinkle, AWB, Bots exist nearly since the very beginning (2002?), why did the community introduce filters in 2009?
