This page is for the reporting of vandalism within the Urban Dead wiki, as defined by vandalism policy. On this wiki, the punishment for Vandalism is temporary banning, but due to security concerns, the ability to mete out this punishment is restricted to System Operators. As such, regular users will need to lodge a report for a Vandal to be banned from the wiki. For consistency and accountability, System Operators are requested to note on this board their actions in dealing with Vandals.
Guidelines for Vandalism Reporting
In dealing with Vandalism, time is often of the essence. As such, we ask that all users include the following information in a Vandalism report:
- A link to the pages in question.
- Preferably bolded for visibility. If the Vandalism is occurring over a sufficiently large number of pages, instead include a time range of the vandalism attempt, or alternatively, a link to the first vandalised page. This allows us to quickly find the damage so we can quickly assess the situation.
- The user name of the Vandal.
- This allows us to more easily identify the culprit, and to check details.
- A signed datestamp.
- For accountability purposes, we ask that you record in your request your user name and the time you lodged the report.
- Please report at the top.
- There's conflict with where to post and a lot of the reports are missed. If it's placed at the top of the page it's probably going to be seen and dealt with.
If you see Vandalism in progress, don't wait for System Operators to deal with it, as there may be no System Operator online at the time. Lodge the report, then start reverting pages back to their original form. This can be done by going to the "History" tab at the top of the page, and finding the last edit before the Vandal's attack. When a System Operator is available, they'll assess the situation, and if the report is legitimate, we will take steps to either warn the vandal, or ban them if they are on their second warning.
If the page is long, you can add new reports by editing the top report and placing your new report above its header in the edit screen.
Before Submitting a Report
- This page, Vandal Banning, deals with bad-faith breaches of official policy.
- Interpersonal complaints are better sorted out at UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration.
- As much as is practical, assume good faith and try to iron out problems with other users one to one, only using this page as a last resort.
- Avoid submitting reports which are petty.

- Clear impersonation is clear. Vandalism. No outstanding judgements, so a warning is in order. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 01:54, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- Vandalism - I missed that a case had been opened when I reverted the changes yesterday, but now that I see one has, it's open and shut. —Aichon— 15:14, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- Clear-cut vandalism. And with that (and Rev's pending demotion) a majority is already there, so I will carry the warning out. -- Spiderzed█ 18:03, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Changed Template:Phextermination to a "zerg alert" template, effectively vandalising multiple group pages by claiming they zerg -- boxy 22:12, 9 October 2013 (BST)
- Vandalism - I always try to give newbies the benefit of the doubt, but I can't imagine a scenario where this user was trying to do something constructive, especially given their other edits. Either they were trying to create a template for inclusion on the pages of people they thought were zergers, or they were directly trying to accuse users of that template of zerging. Either way, they were planning to put content on people's pages that those people clearly wouldn't want to have there. A warning seems merited. —Aichon— 22:35, 9 October 2013 (BST)
- Vandalism. It is technically a three-edit vandal, but I don't think a perma is merited yet, as it might as well be an honest newb mistake. -- Spiderzed█ 23:05, 9 October 2013 (BST)
- Vandalism. The edits to the "War" pages seem to have been taking a moderately non-NPOV page and making it strongly non-NPOV in the other direction. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 03:00, 10 October 2013 (BST)
Judged as vandalism. Warned on talk page. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 05:30, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
