Dealing with vandalism

Here is a basic guide to dealing with a vandal should one come.

Vandal:

A user who edits an article to remove content/insert rude content/spam links.

Finding a vandalised page
These are usually fairly easy to find by going to "my home" in the upper right-hand corner and scrolling down to see if there is a large string of edited pages by an unregistered contributor or a suspicious username.

Reverting
Vandalisms can be easily reverted by going to "history" at the top of a page and either hitting undo next to the vandalised edit, or go to an unvandalised version and copy the content into the current version. one of the problems with copy/pasting is that all the pictures and links will be removed and have to be re-added.

Reporting
Usually an administrator will be able to find a vandal but it saves a lot of time if you report the vandals username to the current active administrator.

Note: Don't report anyone until you are sure they are a vandal.

Active admins:

Currently votehim, SH172, and Carnivouros M. are all active, but in the coming weeks both votehim and SH172 will be on vacation and Carnivourous M. will be the only active admin.
