\section{Patterns in filters creation and usage}
* What are typical filter usage patterns?
** switched on for a while, then deactivated and never activated again?: 81 (bad charts), 167 (two brief disables underway), 302 (switched off on the grounds of insufficient activity); 904 (to track smth)
** switched on for a short while and then powered down: mostly stuff merged to other filters; or for which the community decides filter is not an appropriate solution (308), 199 ('Unflagged Bots'); or decides to not implement the thing (that way); 290 (disabled, since relevant pages were protected)
** or switched off after a short while because there were no hits: 304, 67, 122
** or switched off after a longer while, because it was not tripped frequently, in order to save conditions from the condition limit: 211 ("Disable, appears to be inactive (log only filter). If you are using this filter, please let me know, and I'll reenable it -Prodego")

** switched off bc merged to another filter 440 was merged in 345
** on for a short while and off again bc?? (false positives is a plausible option here): 394
** switched on and still on: 11 (verify), 79 (with brief periods of being disabled for couple of minutes/hours, probably in order to update the pattern), 164, 642 (if we ignore the 2min period it was disabled on 13.4.2018), 733 (2.11.2015-present), 29 (18.3.2009-present), 30 (18.3.2009-present), 33 (18.3.2009-present), 39 (18.3.2009-present), 50 (18.3.2009-present), 59 (19.3.2009-present), 80 (22.3.2009-present)

* What do filters target: general behaviour vs edits by single users
** there are quite some filters targeting particular users: 290 (targets an IP range), 177 ('User:Television Radio'), 663 ('Techno genre warrior

** there are also filters such as 199 (Unflagged bots) which were implemented in order to track something which was not quite malicious or abusive and were thus deemed inappropriate use of filters by the community and consequently (quite swiftly) deleted
** some target insults in general and some contain regexes containing very specifically insults directed towards edit filter managers (see filter 12)
