This is a template that formats the watchable page User:MusikBot/FilterMonitor/Recent changes. The template itself is not modified by the bot and therefore watching it is probably not desired. The "watch" link at the top-left will add the correct page to your watchlist.

Configuration

The data included in the report is specified by User:MusikBot/FilterMonitor/config. All values are booleans (true or false). Configuration data is in the form of JSON.

IMPORTANT:

Do not attempt to remove or add new parameters.
Keys should always be strings, e.g. use "actions": true instead of actions: true

Available parameters

deleted	Whether or not the filter is deleted

Notes

^ Although Special:AbuseFilter/history does not make mention of changes to private filters, information regarding flags and actions are technically public via the API. The "pattern", or the regex, is not public and is not reported.
