Welcome to the '''[[Esperanza]] Education Center for Vandalism'''! | |||
==Introduction to Vandalism== | |||
===Definition of Vandalism=== | |||
Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Halopedia. Vandalism is prohibited on Halopedia. | |||
There are four mechanisms by which vandals can vandalise: | |||
*plain-text edits (includes "hidden" vandalism embedded within an article) | |||
*image uploads/inclusions | |||
*addition of external links | |||
*page moves/redirects | |||
There are two types of vandalism: deliberate and ambiguous. A concerted effort should be made to differentiate between the two in regards on how to counter vandalism. | |||
===Deliberate Vandalism=== | |||
====Definition==== | |||
Deliberate Vandalism is vandalism where it is definitively concluded that vandalism was ''intentional'' and was a ''deliberate'' effort to damage Halopedia, and not a ''faux pas'' on behalf of the vandal. | |||
====Examples==== | |||
Types of deliberate vandalism are as follows: | |||
*Sexual mentions | |||
*Racist mentions | |||
*Other offensive mentions | |||
*User page blanking/replacement | |||
*Talk page blanking/replacement | |||
*Creation of account(s) with offensive name(s) | |||
====What Can I Do?==== | |||
#Leave a message on the vandal's talk page telling them to stop immediately. However, do ''not'' provoke the vandal in any way or form, and state it perfunctorily and business-like. | |||
#Inform administrators immediately | |||
#Administrators should administer a username/IP ban immediately without remonstration with the vandal | |||
===Ambiguous Vandalism=== | |||
====Definition==== | |||
Ambiguous Vandalism is vandalism where it can not be definitively concluded that vandalism was an ''intentional'' and ''deliberate'' effort to damage Halopedia, and may have been an accidental edit, a misunderstanding of Halopedia policy, etc... | |||
====Examples==== | |||
Types of ambiguous vandalism are as follows: | |||
*Article blanking - If a user does not understand Halopedia policy and means to delete a page to recreate it, make space for a redirect, etc... | |||
*Spam - Examples could be advertisement or self-promotion on article namespace pages, etc... | |||
::Example: "Come visit my Freewebs site!" on an article | |||
*Nonsense additions - Adding irrelevant information to an article that in no way pertains to the article. This does ''not'', however, include adding information to a wrong ''section'' of an article. Mentioning that SPARTAN-117 was a male in the "references" section would ''not'' be construed as vandalism...the sentence should be moved to the appropriate section. This is, however, NOT nonsense. Nonsense is grafitti, etc... | |||
::Example: "hax0r 133t pwnz0r ter8t3btqy948y" on an article or "I LOVE YOUUUUUU!" on the [[Cortana]] article | |||
*Abuse of tags - Adding/removing "<nowiki>{{Delete}}</nowiki>", etc...when inappropriate. | |||
::Example: adding "<nowiki>{{Delete}}</nowiki>" to the [[SPARTAN-117]] article | |||
*Modifying user comments | |||
*Deleted page re-creation | |||
::Example: remaking <code>user talk:PENI.S</code> to taunt the vandal | |||
====What Can I Do?==== | |||
#Leave a message on the user's talk page with the [[Halopedia:Esperanza/Education_for_Vandal_Fighting#Warning_Templates|below-referenced templates]]. For the first time of ambiguous vandalism, leave [[Template:Vandalism Warning-1]]. For a second time, leave [[Template:Vandalism Warning-2]], etc... | |||
#Be ''extremely'' careful not to ambiguate deliberate and ambiguous vandalism! Accusing an ambiguately vandalising user of deliberate vandalism could be very offensive! | |||
==Warning Templates== | |||
*[[Template:Vandalism Warning-1]] | |||
*[[Template:Vandalism Warning-2]] | |||
*[[Template:Vandalism Warning-3]] | |||
*[[Template:Vandalism Warning-4]] | |||
