Sure. I would look to maybe give all the required templates the one
id="..." as that makes the match for those easiest, otherwise you want to
use contains_any
contains_any is good for something like
!contains_any (user_groups, "sysop", "autopatrolled", ...)
At Commons, I did a simple one for main namespace that requires
<gallery... just ensure that you test them for a while first, and if you
have enough people watching your RC, then tags are useful.
Best way that I learnt was just looking at different Special:AbuseFilter
and seeing what the competent were doing, and mimicking their components.
Here is a simple example of one such
article_namespace == 0 & (new_wikitext regex
"\[\[[Cc]ategory:\s?\d{1,4}\sworks\]\]")
& action = "edit"
& !contains_any (user_groups, "sysop")
You will want to do something for things being new pages.
