Changes: The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Vandalism in progress

Revision as of 16:56, 29 May 2015

Shortcut: TES:VIP

Report all acts of vandalism in progress here. The purpose of this page is to provide a reporting function for TESWikians who notice acts of ongoing or repeated vandalism. All instances of vandalism, trolling, abuse, harassment, or inter-user conflicts should be reported for administrative consideration. Blocks or warnings will be issued and any vandalism undone as soon as possible.

For those familiar with Wikipedia, this page and the corresponding talk page will serve as a simplified combination of the VIP and AIV pages.

Note: Please do not report page blanking that has been caused by the VisualEditor. This is not vandalism and is a bug with the editor.

Usage

To add a vandal to this list, edit the "Reports" section and replace "Example" with the name or IP address of the vandal in question. To specify the page being vandalized, add an additional pipe after the vandal's name.

For example: {{CVU|<Username>|<page=Pagename>|<reason=Optional reason>}}. If the reported user is violating the username policy with an inappropriate name, abusing multiple accounts to circumvent an active ban or sockpuppetry, or if the user is harassing or bullying other users, replace the "Pagename" with a link to their userpage. Reason is only required if the "page" parameter is not used.

For example: {{CVU|<Deyvid Petteys>|<page=User:Deyvid Petteys>}}. Namespace is not automatically transcluded under the "Pagename" parameter, although the "User:" namespace is added to the "Username" field.

Block reasons and length

Before blocking an editor, consult the block policy to confirm the offense warrants a block and verify the block length. First time offenders typically receive a light-ban or 3 days. If vandalism is excessive and spans multiple edits, ask a patroller to rollback the edits.
