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
