| ==How to vandalize Wikipedia pages== | | {{Infobox |
| ===General direction=== | | | title = {{{name|<includeonly>{{PAGENAME}}</includeonly>}}} |
| # Put something that looks legit for the edit summary, like | | | image = {{#if:{{{image|}}}|[[File:{{{image}}}|{{ #if: {{{imagesize|}}}|{{{imagesize|}}}|300px}}]]}} |
| Reverted edits by 1.2.3.4 to last version by SomeUser
| |
| stub sorting using [[WP:AWB|AWB]]
| |
| reword per [[WP:MOS]]
| |
| # English Wikipedia is edited mostly by [[English language|English]] speakers. 73% of the English speakers are [[Canadian]]s or [[American]]s. So pick a time when most of these people are asleep. | |
| # Go to a public place where you cannot be traced. Look at the talk page of your "IP user" first. It would be ideal to use an IP that has never edited before.
| |
| # Use a browser that supports [[Tabbed document interface|tabbed browsing]] such as [[Mozilla Firefox]] or [[Opera (Internet suite)|Opera]]. Open many tabs, edit, and save them all at once (as quickly as possible using alt-s (or alt-shift-s) and the hot key for switching between tabs)
| |
| # If you are still not blocked and have done everything you can, copy and paste this how-to to high visibility pages
| |
| # Do not edit articles that are recently edited, as more eyes are on it
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Specifics=== | | | label1 = [[Typeface#Types of typefaces|Category]] |
| ====Sneaky====
| | | data1 = {{{style|}}} |
| # Avoid profanity words. They will be caught by robots quickly
| |
| # Change the dates on the biography of a not-so-known person
| |
| # Rearrange large chunk of paragraphs, but insert a short sentence somewhere
| |
| # Find a page where a table is written as
| |
| :| a || b || c || d
| |
| :and change it do
| |
| :| a
| |
| :| b
| |
| :| something else
| |
| :| d
| |
| # Create [[Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page|archive]] [[Wikipedia:Subpages|subpage]] of a user talk page. Use the next available number. While you're at it, you might as well do the archive for the user.
| |
| # Pick something which is less likely to have [[cognate]]s in other languages. Add interwiki link to random article of a lesser known language. | |
| # Replace Latin letters with Cyrillic or Greek letters that look the same. Combine this with trick with paragraph rearranging. Use external word processing software to quickly replace the letters.
| |
| ====Maximize damage====
| |
| # Add things like <pre><div style="position:absolute;top:-50px;left:-50px;width:100%;height:100%;font-size:50000px;font-color:transparent;">[your url here]</div></pre>
| |
| # Make circular [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirects]]
| |
| :For example, replace [[University of Cambridge]] with
| |
| #REDIRECT [[Cambridge University]]
| |
| :and replace [[Cambridge University]] with
| |
| #REDIRECT [[University of Cambridge]]
| |
| # Redirect one thing to another that has nothing to do
| |
| :For example, redirect [[Virginia]] to [[vagina]]
| |
| # Redirect X to Y, where Y is a new page, and go back to X without redirect, edit X, add some comment like <nowiki><!-- blah --></nowiki>. If you do this right, it would require an admin to move Y back to X.
| |
| # Attack highly used templates such as {{tl|Infobox Country}}, [[:Category:Infobox templates|Other infoboxes]], {{tl|disputed}}, {{tl|move}}, [[:Category:Wikipedia maintenance templates|other maintenance templates]]
| |
| # Edit the typo list at [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos]]. Make sure the edits are syntactically correct.
| |
| # Vandalize edit summary (they cannot be undone).
| |
| # Include a very large pictures on many pages to clog the bandwidth
| |
| # Pick something from [[Special:Mostrevisions]] but don't edit the page directly. Edit a template that it transcludes.
| |
| # Go to [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]] and vandalize some page that was recently unprotected just to frustrate someone.
