Here at Inkipedia, we do not tolerate vandalism of any sort.

Vandalism is any act that involves editing a page simply to make it look, function, or read worse than it currently is. Inkipedia has a very high standard to maintain, and incorrect or subpar pages do not reflect this standard. If you see any vandalism or spam, please undo it and notify an administrator immediately.

Examples of vandalism

  • Removing helpful text
  • Adding unhelpful text
  • Spamming, or purposely repeating words or phrases on one or more articles with the intent of being a nuisance
  • Attempting to disable the wiki in any way, including removing key parts of important components and templates
  • Any other act that an administrator finds harmful to the wiki, its appearance, and its relevance

Consequences of vandalism

If vandalism occurs, Inkipedia staff will place the offending user under moderation. While under moderation, all of the user's actions will be intercepted and reviewed before being visible to the public. The more severe the vandalism, the longer the offending user may be moderated. Vandals are never blocked from editing, so they can recover and become good editors if they choose to.

Editors that continue to vandalize while under moderation will simply be ignored by staff. Their continued vandalism will have no impact on the wiki, because intercepted changes do not show on any page.
