Theabuse filter helper global group was created to allow its users global access to view the contents ofabuse filters marked as private and their corresponding abuse log entries.

Requests for abuse filter helper rights should be placed onSteward requests/Global permissions#Requests for other global permissions. The request will be approved by a steward if there is a consensus for the user to become an abuse filter helper after a period of discussion ofno less than one week.

Inactivity:

If an abuse filter helper has made no global edits for a year, the permission may be revoked by a steward. They may re-apply through the regular process.

Misuse or abuse:

This permission can be removed immediately by a steward in the case of abuse or serious misuse, after which a request for comment must be filed. In other cases, arequest for comment can be filed, and the rights removed by a steward if it is closed with consensus for that course of action.
