* edit filters triggered *before* an edit is published
* disallow certain types of obvious, pervasive (perhaps automated), and difficult to remove vandalism directly
* can target malicious users directly without restricting everyone (<-> page protection)
* historically faster and more reliable, by being a direct part of the core software
* people fed up with bot governance

* allow more easily for collaboration
