Abuse filter maintainer is a global user group assigned by stewards that permits trusted users access to view, and where appropriate, edit abuse filters. This permission is enabled on every public Wikimedia wiki that shares access via CentralAuth and SUL, and is only to be used for non-controversial maintenance, or by request of the local community. Since users in this group can seriously disrupt Wikimedia wikis if used incorrectly, the abuse filter maintainer permission is only assigned to users who have a strong track record in maintaining abuse filters.

Accepted rationales for granting this right:

Global bot

Worldwide bots get bot access for all wiki them where worldwide bot them dey fit work are (look the list of wikithem). Worldwide bot them must follow the standard bot policy, wey allow the bot them to do only some things wey them mention say them dey free to do.

New wikis importers are users who regularly deal with the import of pages to the new wikis created per the language proposal policy, from their respective test wikis (Incubator, BetaWikiversity or OldWikisource).
