Vandalism
To begin, you must first understand what vandalism is. Take this quote from Wikipedia:

Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia (such as swearing, deleting letters to make inappropriate words, etc.) (see also Newbie experiment). The most common type of vandalism is the replacement of existing text with obscenities, namecalling, or other wholly irrelevant content.

Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia.


 * Vandalism is not synonymous with trolling, although some trolling is vandalism:

"Trolling is deliberate and intentional attempts to disrupt the usability of a wiki for its editors, administrators, developers, and other people who work to create content for and help run that wiki. Trolling is deliberate violation of the implicit rules of Internet social spaces. It is necessarily a value judgment made by one user about the value of another's contribution."

Recent changes
You can help prevent vandalism on the wiki by patrolling the Recent changes and look for bad edits. If you find them, revert them and stop the user who made them with warnings or blocks, depending on how severe the vandalism is and whether or not the user in question has a history of vandalism. See the Warning Policy and Blocking Policy for more information.

Anyone can revert bad edits and hand out warnings, but only Administrators (Patrollers, Sysops and Bureaucrats) can block people and officially patrol Recent Changes. The following is a step-by-step outline of how admins can go about patrolling the wiki:


 * First of all, every edit on the page with an ! next to it has not been inspected yet.
 * Click on the diff link next to an edit that has an ! next to it to see the difference between the two most recent edits.
 * If the page is not vandalism, then click the [] link next to the edit.

If there are so many ! signs that you can't possibly check them all, then look for these things:


 * A new page, symbolized by an N, is important to check out.
 * An edit made by a red username, or a user name spoofing another user's name, needs to be inspected.
 * An edit without a description is often made by a vandal in a hurry. Check these out.

If the page you find is vandalism, like if the page is blank, or if profanity has been added, you can revert the edit:


 * While in the differences page, click previous diff and/or next diff until you find the most current non-vandalized version.
 * Click on the  Revision as of 00:00  link above that version and click "edit" at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can find the last good version and click on the date (not the diff) in the page history.
 * Type "reverted vandalism" or "reverted spamming" in the edit summary. The shorthand for this is "rv/v" or "rv/s", respectively.
 * Save the page (without making any changes).
 * Now the page is the version that you selected, in effect removing the vandalism.

Characteristics of a vandal
When you see a user, most likely new, continually:
 * blanking pages,
 * adding or deleting (weird, unrelated) content on pages,
 * creating pages that are false repeatedly,
 * replacing all content on a page with a negative message (User pages seem prone to this attack the most),
 * saying offensive messages on (user) talk pages,

and similar actions to the, it is likely that he or she is a vandal or troll. Such users are automatically banned infinitely, though sometimes they return on another IP (often public), as a sockpuppet, and repeat their actions.

What to do
Trolling and vandalizing are not tolerated in any way at the. If you see continual actions of any of the above, post a message at an online sysop's talk page or patroller's talk page in calm, non-cap letters. As such, the sysop or another sysop will either be online or will come online as soon as possible and block the unruly user, as well as use the special revert tool to quickly make amends. Do not give the vandals any sort of acknowledgement or attack: this is what they are aiming for and it will only encourage them to continue. }}

Baobob Bonanza is the second level of Bright Savannah, and the seventeenth overall in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It

Overview
The level starts out in a rocky-forest area with a waterfall in the background, and one of the fragile wood platforms. Following this, there is a barrel that can bring in either Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, or Cranky Kong. After getting a partner, DK will go up an area of platforms, after which there is a large set of bells that can be rung, followed by a long zipline with more bells and then a Checkpoint. After this, there is an area containing several wooden platforms (like the one first seen in the start) and then another bell zipline, with hazards such as Hot Hootz. This is followed by another Checkpoint, and then a Barrel Cannon that will fire the Kongs into a factory-like area (similar to the one in Sawmill Thrill) with more of the fragile platforms and flying [Soary|Soaries]], after which there is another one of the barrels, like the one in the start of the level. After getting out of the factory area, the Kongs will take a third zipline, only this one having more gimmicks (such as crumbling rock along the way), followed by a third checkpoint and another Barrel Cannon, which will take the Kongs to another indoor area with several ascending bouncy platforms which lead to a large bell, which reveals the Slot Machine Barrel end the level.



K-O-N-G Letters

 * K: After the first zipline.
 * O: On top of the Puffton's head near the second vine zipline.
 * N: On one of the smaller vines below the third zipline.
 * G: In the last indoor area, located above and soon after where the fifth Puzzle Piece was.

Puzzle Pieces

 * 1) Underneath and then to the left of, where the barrel is.
 * 2) Above the area with the fragile platforms (after the zipline), there is a secret area (which can be accessed from getting into the barrel cannon by using one of the flying Soaries as a platform) containing bananas, all of which must be collected in 30 seconds or less to get the Puzzle Piece.
 * 3) Underneath the platform at the end of the factory, there is a secret location, which can be accessed by going onto the fragile platforms below, on the right. The secret area contains bananas, all of which must be collected in 30 seconds or less to get the Puzzle Piece.
 * 4) In the small area before after the third zipline and before the Barrel Cannon, there is a hidden cannon on the top (hidden) platforms, which leads to the fourth Puzzle Piece.
 * 5) In the area following the giant bell (from a Barrel Cannon) in the platform where the Archy is, can be accessed by pounding on the top of it.
