UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Better Vandal Data
Opening
Let us use this space to develop our ideas for improving the current system for handling vandal data. We can all agree that the vandal data is important to the wiki and that it is suboptimal.
If you want to point out a specific problem or propose a solution, please create a new == header so that the discussion can remain orderly. Please refrain from editing this opening section.
In general, A/VD should achieve the following:
- Organization - Escalation history, edit history, and the location of users should be organized
- Ease of use - It should be easy to check the history of specific users
- Automation - Making escalation/de-escalation more automated, reducing errors.

Get rid of deescalations? They only confuse the issue, and encourage career vandals -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:27 30 November 2009 (BST)
Your intentions? At the moment, your intentions seem to be for the community to devise it for you. How righteous. Not reactionary and unfounded at all. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 13:32, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Separate Pages
Just a quick ideas to get us started. How about organizing vandal data into different pages alphabetically? So there would be "Administration/Vandal_Data/A", "Administration/Vandal_Data/B", and so on. And there would be an alphabetical listing on the main A/VD page. This would make it easier to track changes by checking the history of a given page, instead of having to pour through months of data to find the history of a specific user.
Similarly, the pages could be organized like encyclopedia volumes, Aichon - Boberton, Cyberbob - DDR, etc., since certain letters of the alphabet would have more users.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 13:47, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
