"Vandalism" is a term used fairly loosely on this site, and basically covers all negative or unhelpful edits.

Here is a general list of what, in our eyes, constitutes vandalism - please note this is not an exhaustive list!

Minor vandalism

  • Deleting the whole content of a page - if you want a page deleting please ask a moderator by looking at Moderation Requests.
  • Adding pointless content, along the lines of "<Person A> is well fit and is orange"
  • Adding insulting comments to someone's page

Also note that repeated "minor vandalism" can often add up to "major vandalism", for example, repeatedly deleting a page's content, repeatedly insulting a user and so on.

Major vandalism

  • Any racist comments
  • Any comments of a sexual nature - this is a site for the whole school remember!
  • Any swearing that is not asterisked out (using asterisks is fine)
  • Attempting to attack a "major page", like the Main Page, News, Community Portal etc
