It may be worth an admin to being vigilant and as soon as you see the repeat offender, immediately block them. I’m an admin on the Hannibal wikia and there is either one person or multiple people constantly vandalising the same two pages. As soon as I see one bit of vandalism I block them straight away. No exceptions, no talking to them, as that would give them attention. I had to protect those pages. I realise that isn’t practical on a wikia of this size. I hope that may be of use [[User:Valeyard12.5|Valeyard12.5]] [[User talk:Valeyard12.5|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:40, 24 August 2021 (UTC) | |||

Re:Returning spammer/vandalism
Sadly, not a pratical way (that I know of). One could get a bot to run through all of the persons edits and undo it, but the only admins who have bots on this wiki (User:CzechOut and User:SOTO) don't tend to hang around tooo much these days (plus, I'm not sure the process would account for, say, you reverting a specific page but not others). All in all, I'd say (y)our best shot at diminishing the reverting task would be to reach out for the admin that has edited most recently to the time of the trouble.

- Thanks for your concerns about this, all the admins appreciate users who look out for things like this. One request I have is that if/when you revert any edits, just do so quietly; in other words, don't get too specific in the edit summary ("reverting vandalism" is fine). These people want attention (one can only imagine what their real world lives must be like) and we don't want to give that to them. Thanks again! Shambala108 ☎ 00:49, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
