IFWiki:Vandalism
From IFWiki
Unhappily, because wikis are open to the public for editing, there is always the risk of pages being vandalized by malicious or inappropriate editing.
New sightings of IFWiki vandalism should be reported at IFWiki:Community Portal#Vandalism alerts.
Suggestions on how to combat IFWiki vandalism should be discussed at IFWiki talk:Vandalism. Also use the talk page if you're having trouble reverting a damaged page.
Current Policy
- IFWiki currently requires that users must register with an ID and log in before they may edit a page. Hopefully, this will deter lazy vandals, but this is not expected to deter the more determined ones.
- Vandalized pages should be reverted back to the text and format of the last legitimate edit, as can be found in a page's history. It's best if such reverts can be done as soon after the vandalism as possible.
- Obvious and blatant spammers will be blocked indefinitely. We have no tolerance for that sort of nonsense. Admins will determine what is "obvious and blatant" spamming.
