         To protect against potential DOS attacks caused by "`decompression bombs`_" (i.e. malicious files
         which decompress into a huge amount of data and are designed to crash or cause disruption by using up
         a lot of memory), Pillow will issue a ``DecompressionBombWarning`` if the number of pixels in an
-        image is over a certain limit, :py:data:`PIL.Image.MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS`. If desired, the warning can be
-        turned into an error with ``warnings.simplefilter('error', Image.DecompressionBombWarning)`` or
-        suppressed entirely with ``warnings.simplefilter('ignore', Image.DecompressionBombWarning)``. See
-        also `the logging documentation`_ to have warnings output to the logging facility instead of stderr.

         ``DecompressionBombError`` will be raised instead.
