Spoiler: MarioWiki:Vandalism (with MarioWiki:Trolls "merged") |

Here's how to help restore pages that have been vandalized.
VandalismTo begin, you must first understand what vandalism is. Take this quote from Wikipedia:
Recent changesYou 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:
If there are so many ! signs that you can't possibly check them all, then look for these things:
If the page you find is vandalism, like if the page is blank, or if profanity has been added, you can revert the edit:
Characteristics of a vandalWhen you see a user, most likely new, continually:
and similar actions to the Super Mario Wiki, 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 doTrolling and vandalizing are not tolerated in any way at the Super Mario Wiki. 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. |
Spoiler: MarioWiki:Signature |
---|
Your signature is automatically created for you when you create an account. It should be used when writing comments on talk pages, voting on "Datestamp" was replaced with "timestamp" as MediaWiki refers to it as a timestamp as well, minor fixes, last sentence is to explain the importance of having a timestamp. Personalized signatures are allowed, by
However, some rules must be followed when doing so:
The last part may not belong with the signature rules, but something should be added to this page to emphasize that using other users' signatures is not tolerated and will result in trouble. |
Base creation
- Create a page for your signature here.
- Edit the page and insert this text:
[[User:Username|Username]]
- Replace "Username" with your username.
Like That:For example:[[User:Porplemontage|Porple]]
"Porple" should be changed to "Porplemontage" to be consistent with the example of displaying your username as a link without the "User:" part; having just "Porple" may be misleading.
Customization
If you want your name to be colored or have a different font, replace the text on the signature page with this:
[[User:Username|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#f00">Username</span>]]
If you want to link to your talk page and your contributions page, insert this text at the end of the signature page:
([[User talk:Username|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Username|edits]])
Be sure to follow all rules outlined in MarioWiki:Signature. Once you have the signature created, click save. Then go to your preferences page.
Preparing for usage
Once you are at your At your preferences page, change the text in the "Signature" box to this the following:
{{subst:nosubst|User:Username/sig}}
See {{nosubst}} for more information.
Make sure the " Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" option is checked, and save your preferences.
Every time you now sign your comments with ~~~~ (which can be done by clicking the pen icon at the top of the editing window), your custom signature should be inputed with a timestamp.
Usage
Now that your signature is set up, know how it works:

The pages where you don't use signatures
Certain pages do not allow these signature codes to be used on them, a majority of them being MarioWiki namespace pages. You can tell when not to use signatures when the page mentions that it follows the "No-Signature Policy". For more information about the policy, check this page.
