- Please do not bite the newcomers. Do not list newbie tests and mistakes as vandalism. Instead, assume good faith.
- If you suspect an edit may be vandalism but are unsure, note it on the article's talk page.
- Report neither NPOV disputes nor accuracy disputes here - use {{NPOV}} (Usage) or {{disputed}} (Usage) templates on the page in question.
- If a page is being defaced at a high rate, page protection may be requested here.
- If you come across very recent vandalism where it seems that the perpetrator should be blocked immediately (and has already been warned), try listing your report on YPPedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
