Please don't vandalise our fair wiki. Thank you.
Reporting suspected vandalism
Please leave a message on the Talk page and someone will look into it.
Persistent vandals
We primarily have persistent nonsense-string vandals; the occasional wiki-troll who signs up with an annoying name; and one or two page blankers.
Tools we should add
- Auto-unblanker : revert page blanking and other dramatic changes, when done by new or anon users
- Auto-signature : sign non-minor page additions made by anons with their IP (existing script)
- Instructions for rc-watching tools (cf wikihow and wikipedia tools)
Templates
We need a set of "please don't vandalize" templates, for contribs who are actively involved (and not just bots), but vandalizing; it's sometimes better to warn and encourage people to become contributors than to block on sight... and easier to do this when there's a template handy. Without checking wp templates (which are a bit more involved), I started substing Template:nov. --Sj talk 10:11, 24 April 2008 (EDT)
