The more I think about it the better I like using this extension as a

AbuseFilter is pretty flexible. There are already rules created and
being
used for missing Category(ies) from page edits. You
can deny the save or
warn and allow, plus tag the edit.
So all is needed is a filter to check all edits for a url with the
wiki's
domain name. A gentle reminder, you do not need to use
this syntax with
an
example of what to use. Or the hard road, not allowed
please use this.

An advantage of such an approach is that you can provide very specific,
direct and customised information and guidance. English Wikisource has an
abuse filter that checks a namespace for specific template that is required
to be present, and where it is not, then guidance is given on the format,
and links to specific help pages.

In fact this was created as a filter before we even thought about its use
in abuse settings.
Sometimes it would nice to be able to cascade filters, or exclude on the
basis of a previous filter, however, that is not yet possible.
