Wikivoyage:Ongoing vandalism Voyage Tips and guide

Please read Project:How to handle unwanted edits to understand what is vandalism to Wikivoyage.

Anyone can help handle unwanted edits on Wikivoyage. A couple of bad edits can be reverted quickly and easily by the first person to see them. See How to revert a page to see how to do this yourself.

However, administrators and patrollers have the rollback tool that enable them to quickly revert edits by a particular user, and admins also to temporarily block repeat offenders. Use this page when you need assistance from an administrator, for example when vandalism is occurring at a rapid rate or over an extended period of time. Or even if you have been managing a vandalism attack but are now going offline.

There may be large periods where local admins go inactive; in such cases, do not hesitate to also list uncontroversial requests on Global sysop requests (GSR) on Meta-Wiki. The English Wikivoyage has specifically opted in for global sysops. For ease of use, there are tools such as XReport that give a more user-friendly UI to add block and delete requests on GSR.

Please list the IP address or user name (use the format [[Special:Contributions/Username|Username]] or [[Special:Contributions/IP Address|IP Address]] as the header), pages touched and damage done. Sign your name using ~~~~ after your report. Put the person's IP or username in the edit summary.

Here,here and here someone's been trying to be funny today. Low-volume vandalism, yes, but there is a chance that they are going to continue making these kinds of edits for who knows how long... --Ypsilon (talk) 20:34, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Done, though you'll need to request WV:TAIV permissions to exactly see what I've done. //shb (t | c | m) 23:01, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Sbb1413 created this redirect, but someone is using multiple anonymous IP addresses to try to reverse the redirect and create a garbage page full of encyclopedic bio content. Can an admin please check that the redirect is in place then protect the page against anonymous updates? Thanks! Mrkstvns (talk) 20:32, 1 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Seems taken care of. –LPfi (talk) 07:44, 12 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Rapidly adding a lot of nonsense to articles and creating off-topic pages. Gerode (talk) 03:14, 17 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerode: Done, I've globally locked the account. //shb (t | c | m) 04:37, 17 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
