Vandalism Policy

Vandalism is the conspicuous defacement or destruction of an unprotected article. Actions classed as vandalism include but are not limited to:

Articles

Adding unconstructive or insulting words/objects to an article.
Blanking content from an article (excluding profane or offensive content).
Replacing content in an article with material that violates the Fandom Terms of Use.
Replacing a story/article with your own.
Adding pictures or videos to someone else's story without author permission. This includes narrations.

Making edits to correct awkward phrasing, spelling, grammar, etc. IS NOT vandalism. Quite the opposite; it is helpful. Vandalism is destructive editing.

Heavily Vandalized Pages

After a page has been vandalized a minimum of five (5) times, it will be protected for at least a temporary time.

If the vandalism continues, the page may be permanently protected.

User Pages

Do not edit the content of another editor's User namespace page or talk page, unless profane or inappropriate content is being removed.

User Talk Pages

Please do not remove any official warnings or ban notifications left by the admin team or Wikia Staff. Just because your name is on it doesn’t mean you have total control over your talk page. Blanking a message from it can be considered vandalism, unless said message is purely spam.
Keep in mind that talk pages are supposed to be public records, not your own private messaging system.
Changing the wording of someone else’s message is considered malicious and will result in a ban. Obviously, you may alter your own comments, but keep in mind that admins have full access to past versions of comments.
You can archive your talk page using a subpage to your User Talk space, but you may not simply blank it. You can contact an admin for assistance with this.

Forums

Removing replies that are legitimate to the post is considered vandalism, as it disrupts the flow of the discussion.
Removing in-session forum threads is considered vandalism.

Administrative Response

If you vandalize, you will be blocked for a minimum of:

2 weeks, first offense.
1 month, second offense.
2 months, third offense.
6 months, fourth offense.
Indefinitely, fifth offense.

Note that these times are dynamic and can depend strongly on the severity of the vandalism. Vandalism on User/Talk pages and forums ranges in severity, but should generally be considered less significant than that of an article. Intent should also be considered, and the administrator should fully investigate the situation before distributing a punishment they deem appropriate. Warnings should be issued in minor cases.
