Community Central talk:Vandalism

I strongly disagree with the statement that "Vandalism usually starts as a form of heavy-handedness which is never effective at getting a point across in a wiki community".

A lot of vandalism is simple attention seeking. Look at the Stephen Colbert / Elephant incident. en:User:JzG 21:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite
I don't mean to be critical, but this page seems a littler confusing and not incredibly helpful on actually dealing with vandalism. Would there be any objections to kind of overhauling it and starting over? Scott ch 09:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * That sounds a good idea. Wikipedia has a lot of useful information on this topic which could be used to create a new page here. Angela talk 19:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki vandalism
Is there somewhere on Wikia Central to discuss InterWiki vandalism. I can delete it where I'm an admin but there are a lot of other wikia I see the same stuff going on.

P.SS

dealt with the first guy on the Metal Gear Wiki


 * There isn't at the moment, but it might be useful to start a forum page where all vandalism can be reported. Angela (talk) 13:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Another one - 95.24.92.83 - similar substitute messages on fisherymanagement and LOTR: http://lotr.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Fellowship&diff=prev&oldid=36605


 * Replaced your rollback link (that doesn't work) with the edit diff. Hope you don't mind --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 11:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Proxies
Even if the Vandal's IP is detected and blocked, a vandal could still use a proxy. Is there anything that can be done about this? I don't think so... at least not affecting innocent people who use a proxy as well. Nicolasjager 05:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
The  should be   for the purposes of Topic:Vandalism as explained on Forum Topics (talk). – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  15:22, November 24, 2017 (UTC)

Oppose, the board is useless. Only 1 topic was from >1 year old. They can be discussed in other forum boards. Vstf can take care of things. The help pages are good enough. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  16:04, November 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * There are various threads tagged with Topic:Vandalism, and there are new threads which should have this topic, e.g., Problems at Villains Wiki, where I'm unable to add it. I don't care how this is solved, but your edit summary doesn't help. Of course I'd disable the edit requests when another working solution is found, for any skin. – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  18:16, November 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * [[Image:X_mark.svg|15px]] Not Done: The redirect is very useful for users who are looking for information about vandalism. The existing redirect is more important than a redirect to the forum topic. noreplyz  talk 01:15, November 26, 2017 (UTC)
