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.

There are three mechanisms by which vandals can vandalise:

  • plain-text edits
  • image uploads/inclusions
  • addition of external links

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

Deliberate Vandalism is vandalism where it is definitively concluded that vandalism was intentional, and not a faux pas. Types of deliberate vandalism are as follows:

  • sexual mentions
  • racaist mentions
  • other offensive mentions
  • user page blanking/replacement
  • talk page blanking/replacement
  • creation of account(s) with offensive name(s)

Ambiguous Vandalism
