The Abuse Log allows administrators to set rules to block or flag edits and review those edits to prevent vandalism by editors - especially important in publicly accessible wikis that might allow anonymous edits. In MediaWiki you can always fix (revert) changes but why cleanup if you can prevent the mess to begin with?
The Abuse Filter Analyzer is a script to do client-side analysis of the Abuse Filter Log. The Abuse Filter backend and native management interface is enabled through the extension.
