\section{Epistemological interest}
What do we want to know?
* Think about: what's the computer science take on the field? How can we design a "better"/more efficient/more user friendly system? A system that reflects particular values (vgl Code 2.0, Chapter 3, p.34)?
* go over notes in the filter classification and think about interesting controversies, things that attract the attention
* what are useful categories
* GT is good for tackling controversial questions: e.g. are filters with disallow action a too severe interference with the editing process that has way too much negative consequences? (e.g. driving away new comers?)
* What can we study?
* Discussions on filter patterns? On filter repercussions?
* Whether filters work the desired way/help for a smoother Wikipedia service or is it a lot of work to maintain them and the usefullness is questionable?
* Question: Is it worth it to use a filter which has many side effects?
* What can we filter with a REGEX? And what not? Are regexes the suitable technology for the means the community is trying to achieve?
* add also "af_enabled" column to filter list; could be that the high hit count was made by false positives, which will have led to disabling the filter (TODO: that's a very interesting question actually; how do we know the high number of hits were actually leggit problems the filter wanted to catch and no false positives?)
\section{Putting things in perspective}
\subsection{Vandalism on Wikipedia}
Edit filters were initially introduced as a vandalism prevention mechanism (one of several).
