| - Vandalism is intentional damage to a wiki article, such as inserting jibberish or deleting useful information. The usual scenario is that the vandal uses an anonymous account, damages a few articles, makes no useful contributions and leaves. In that case, the user receives a one-year IP ban, without warning. Other situations are reviewed individually. It would be nice to announce this page in the news section on the main page, but doing so would invite vandals, since they like the challenge. So this page will remain half-hidden in this weird location.

| - Vandalism is intentional damage to a wiki article, such as inserting jibberish or deleting useful information. The usual scenario is that the vandal uses an anonymous account, damages a few articles, makes no useful contributions and leaves. In that case, the user receives a one-year IP ban, without warning. Other situations are reviewed individually. Sometimes, an article is damaged by mistake if a new user tries out editing without realizing he's messing up the wiki, or someone has incorrect information and relies on it to change an article or in another similar, accidental situation. These are not cases of vandalism, but honest mistakes. In these cases, please repair the damage if you can, and if you have the time, please leave a friendly and helpful explanation on the user's talk page to help avoid similar problems in the future. Please report such cases, just so that we can think of ways to provide better help to new users, etc. It would be nice to announce this page in the news section on the main page, but doing so would invite vandals, since they like the challenge. So this page will remain half-hidden in this weird location.
