Vandalism is any edit made in a deliberate attempt to disrupt King Kong Wiki or harass its users. Vandalism will not be tolerated.
Common types of vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, and the insertion of nonsense into articles.
Types of Vandalism
- Content removal: Removing a non-trivial part of a page's content without any reason. The difference between vandalism and a Bold edit is as little as an edit summary or a post to a talk page.
- Bad content: This includes changing the language of a page (King Kong Wiki is in English only), inserting stupid crudities or random text into articles.
- False content: Adding deliberately misinformative information. King Kong Wiki tolerates speculation, but speculation should be clearly stated to be speculation when it occurs.
- Ignoring/Overwriting directions: In a few articles you will encounter in-text directions. <!---It will look like this.--> Follow these directions. If you take issue with a direction, start a talk page discussion.
Dealing with vandalism
Bureaucrats and administrators may block vandals on sight. Users without tools to block should revert the changes and tell an administrator.
Although it is generally encouraged to Assume Good Faith, most vandalism is extremely blatant and undeserving of such.
