The best practice way for introducing a new filter is described under \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/Instructions}.
According to the page, following steps should be implemented:
\begin{itemize}
- \item read the docs \url{https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter/Rules_format}
- \item test with debugging tools \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/tools} (visible only for users who are already in the edit filter managers user group)

\end{itemize}
Performance/efficiency seem to be fairly important for the edit filter system;
-on multiple occasions, there are notes on recommended order of operations, so that the filter evaluates as resource sparing as possible.
