Wikivoyage:Ongoing vandalism

From Wikivoyage
(Redirected from VIP)

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.

There may be large periods where local admins go inactive; in such cases, do not hesitate to also list uncontroversial requests on Global sysop requests (GSR) on Meta-Wiki. The English Wikivoyage has specifically opted in for global sysops. For ease of use, there are tools such as XReport that give a more user-friendly UI to add block and delete requests on GSR.

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.
