Help:Revert

This page offers an introduction to cleaning up vandalism on Yugioh Wikia.

A few things for current and aspiring vandal-fighters to keep in mind:


 * Good-faith efforts to improve the encyclopedia are not vandalism, even if they are misguided or ill-considered.
 * Content disputes are not vandalism. They should be dealt with by following the dispute resolution procedure.
 * Not all edits by new or unregistered contributors are vandalism. Check out the content added or removed before reverting blindly, and remember not to bite the newcomers.
 * Edits which appear to be in bad faith should not be considered vandalism until they can be proven such at a later time,

Anyone can help! Whenever you spot a page that has been vandalised, you are encouraged to edit it and clean it up, and/or warn the vandal using an appropriate warning template. See What to do if you spot vandalism below. If you find yourself cleaning up vandalism frequently, you might be interested in patrolling recent changes. Note that participation is entirely voluntary. Also, you are not required to enlist anywhere. There are various tools to help you. See the Tools section below. This guide only applies to vandalism as defined by official policy.

1. Revert the vandalism by viewing the page's history and selecting the most recent version of the page prior to the vandalism. Use an edit summary such as 'rvv' or 'reverted vandalism' and click on save page.
