| abstract | - Vandalism is prohibited. Vandalism is defined as an action that is intentional, is meant to be detrimental or harmful, and is not made in good faith. Examples of vandalism include (but are not limited to):
* Deliberately adding irrelevant information to an article
* Deliberately adding false information onto an article, or removing valid information from an article without just cause
* Deliberately adding patent nonsense (e.g. gibberish, random characters, or excessively confusing text) to an article
* Deliberately removing all the text from an article, or from an article section, without a legitimate reason to do so, or replacing an article or article section with a small amount of text (known as blanking/page blanking/section blanking)
* Repeatedly uploading files without including proper licensing information, after receiving a warning to do so
* Deliberately posting links to irrelevant external sites on an article
* Deliberately leaving spam or inappropriate comments on Blogs, Fanon articles, and other comment sections on the wiki. An action taken in good faith is not vandalism, and should not be treated as such. Editors should always strive to assume that any edit made to the wiki is made in good faith, even if it is detrimental, unless is is clear that the edit is intended to be negative. Edits which are detrimental but made in good faith may result in a warning against the editor - however, repeated edits of the same nature following a warning will be treated as vandalism and handled accordingly. There is no set penalty for vandalism. The action chosen by an administrator varies depending on the severity of the action. Administrators may block users for performing vandalism, even if the user did not receive a prior warning.
