Wikivoyage:Vandalism in progress

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Please read Project:How to handle unwanted edits to understand what is vandalism to Wikivoyage.

Anyone can help handle unwanted edits on Wikivoyage. A couple of bad edits can be reverted quickly and easily by the first person to see them. See How to revert a page to see how to do this yourself.

However, administrators and patrollers have the rollback tool that enable them to quickly revert edits by a particular user, and admins also to temporarily block repeat offenders. Use this page when you need assistance from an administrator, for example when vandalism is occurring at a rapid rate or over an extended period of time. Or even if you have been managing a vandalism attack but are now going offline.

Please list the IP address or user name (use the format [[Special:Contributions/Username|Username]] or [[Special:Contributions/IP Address|IP Address]] as the header), pages touched and damage done. Sign your name using ~~~~ after your report. Put the person's IP or username in the edit summary.

See also Project:User ban nominations. Archived threads are at Wikivoyage:Vandalism in progress/Archive.

Ban evasion, same person copy and pasting the blocked text Tai123.123 (talk) 05:35, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@SHB2000, I see you're online, they're adding more articles Tai123.123 (talk) 05:43, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for doing the admin actions I can't do. Tai123.123 (talk) 05:51, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep in mind that if an admin is not around, you can always ask a global sysop to do it at m:GSR. They'll usually do any non-controversial admin actions. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 05:56, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@SHB2000 Thanks for the tip, I hope to one day become admin so I can do these actions myself Tai123.123 (talk) 06:04, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Vandal

  • Special:Contributions/Camp Lejeune doesn't appear to be here for positive reasons. Roovinn (talk)
    • No. They could be blocked, but I assume it is a throw-away account, whose owner never memorised the password. I don't know whether it is better to block it for the record or not to block it to keep blocking less frequent. Blocking it could block their IP address, which might be useful (if it is their own), useless (if they'll get a new one for their next edits) or harmful (if it is one of a public computer). –LPfi (talk) 10:21, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Creating pages with personal insults. Revdel may be needed. - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:44, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm subscribed for everything

Added penis images to articles and their own user page, and abused rfc. Revdel should be done on the affected articles ASAP. We may need to implement MediaWiki:Bad image list to prevent this from happening again. JsfasdF252 (talk) 05:38, 24 February 2023 (UTC); edited 05:39, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

124.217.188.0/23, ru.wiki, ru wikiquote and zh.wiki blocked, ban in en.wiki, commons blocked /16.--MCC214 (talk) 13:11, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not done – too large of an IP range. There have been some good edits from this range (back in 2016), so blocking the entire /17 is not the best solution. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 21:48, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
SHB2000, please re check this case, this LTA continued used this IP range harass admin and steward, such as 14.0.156.230, 14.0.169.27, 14.0.230.38, 14.0.159.119, only this LTA used after 28 July, also, this LTA self-edited and directed in steward talk page.--MCC214 (talk) 07:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Also, I request protect User talk:Ikan Kekek, LTA continued cross-wiki troll after this.--MCC214 (talk) 07:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What kind of protection? Should I protect my user talk page against edits of non-autoconfirmed users, and if so, for how long? As an admin, I should be available to new users who are not vandals. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:18, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MCC214: That's an issue for other wikis, but I'm not blocking >32k IPv4 addresses for a few vandalistic edits – if someone else wants to, they can (and it has been blocked by Johannes89). Likewise, Ikan Kekek can decide for themselves if they want their talk page protected or not. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:06, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
