<p>Work initiated.

Examples of typical vandalism are adding irrelevant obscenities and crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Vandalism is prohibited.&#039;&#039;&#039; While editors are encouraged to warn and [[w:Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Education and warnings|educate]] vandals, warnings are by no means necessary for an administrator to block.<br /> <br /> Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any [[wLinguifex:General policy|good-faith]] effort to improve the encyclopedia is &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; vandalism. [[Linguifex:Deletion policy|Edit warring]] over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalising. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful.<br /> <br /> Upon their discovery, revert clearly vandalising edits. Then warn the vandalising editor. Notify [[Linguifex:Administrators|administrators]] of vandalising users who persist despite warnings, and administrators should intervene to protect content and prevent further disruption by [[Linguifex:Blocking policy|blocking]] such users from editing. When warranted, accounts whose main or only use is obvious vandalism or other forbidden activity may be blocked even without warning.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Meta]][[Category:Policy]]</div>
