Since the OP was posted on every admin wall, I'll post my comments on here (it'll probably be a lot easier for discussion that way). I don't have any personal experience with AbuseFilter, but I'm currently doing some reading on its scope (the syntax is scaring me, so don't expect me to not destroy the wiki if I edited it).

I agree that we shouldn't use the blocking and group removal actions. As well as Mark's suggestions, I would really like to see an AbuseFilter for some of the following parameters:


 * Warn an editor who creates a page that includes the category Players with less than 750,000 visits or Places with less than 750,000 visits. Most of the NCU pages don't have those categories included in them, so it might not catch all instances of NCU page creation.
 * Prohibit an editor from making a page until they reach a set amount of edits (would probably cut down a lot on the people who join just to make an NCU page about themselves).
 * For new/inexperienced editors (I'll define inexperienced as a user with less than x amount of edits... which we'll probably define later on if we decide to implement the AbuseFeature and this parameter) prohibit edits that are larger than a certain editsize or removal of a certain number of lines on the page (though this would not work for vandalism to smaller pages or vandalism that isn't entirely blanking the page). We could also approach it by having a parameter that prevents the new page size from being super small (someone blanking the page or someone creating a page that is like "billy is a cool robloxian")
 * Prevent editors from creating pages on the wiki blacklist (*cough cough* 1x1x1x1 *cough cough*)
