Info header
Mandatory

  • Text: "Vandalism. The information on this page is intended to help you resolve the incident."

"What to do next"

Mandatory:

  • Text: "Vandalism is the malicious defacement of encyclopedic content, such as by adding obscenities or crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page. Any good- faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism, even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive. If you see vandalism, you may be bold and fix it yourself! If you are unable to fix the vandalism, seek help."

  • Links:
    • "Contact an Admin" link is configurable
    • Email is configurable
