Template:Vandal - Wikiversity

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This user information template is intended only for use when reporting accounts or IPs who are vandalising Wikipedia, particularly those making large numbers of rapid vandal edits. It contains a link to Special:Nuke which facilitates reverting mass edits made in rapid succession.

It should not be used where the editor in question is not making vandal edits. Alternative user information templates are available by clicking Show in the box below.

Examples
