Greetings,
The AbuseFilter extension for MediaWiki, which helps prevent vandalism on wikis, will be globally enabled on all Wikimedia projects later today.

I know I can look at noc.wikimedia.org, but could you please add some info about the default configuration so that at least sysops know what to expect. Or is it supposed to be used only by [global sysops and] stewards (as it happened on some small wikis recently)? Thank you, Nemo

It says in the blog post to which Guillaume linked that the default set up is blank, and that any sysop can set one up as they see fit, with a link to the documentation on how we've used in on enwiki (given that it's been active there for two years).
Hope this helps.
Yours,

This is correct. Admins will be the ones able to create and manage filters, and there will be no default filters.
