User blog comment:Minecraft246/Why is my wiki being pelted with vandals?/@comment-4674838-20120831181757

There's no way you can permanently prevent vandalism. There will always be vandals, just like there will always be well-intentioned people. Dealing with vandalism requires patience and persistence. The common saying "don't feed the trolls" is important -- it means not to talk with vandals, because if you show them a reaction, that just encourages them.

''What you want to do is calmly revert vandal's edits to undo vandalism, block them to prevent further trouble, and ignore them. Revert, block, ignore.''


 * If you need help cleaning up vandalism, please feel free to ask for help from the Vandalism Spam Task Force -- this is a group of experienced editors who are extremely good at cleaning up vandalism. If you make a vandalism report to them, they will likely be able to help out.
 * There are also some help pages you can read such as Help:Spam that have useful information to teach you more about how to deal with spam and vandalism.

As for the "error message" you were talking about, that happens sometimes, please don't take it personally. If you have any questions about it, you should ask an admin here on this wiki.
