Cyber Nations Wiki:Vandalism

The contents of this page are a policy on the Cyber Nations Wiki.

Vandalism on the Cyber Nations Wiki is defined as deleting or altering contents of an article or page in order to deliberately cause harm to the article and/or the wiki as a whole.

Editors must be sure to first assume good faith in the edits of other users. It is entirely possible the other editor simply does not understand the nature of wikis, or of the purpose of a particular page. Ensure that the other editor understands our policies, especially that pages are to assume a neutral point of view.

An argument as to what content appears on a page is not vandalism if there are simply two differing opinions and the term vandal, or the vandalism process would not be appropriate in this situation. Rather, it'd be better to ask for comments on the Cyber Nations Wiki:Village Pump.

Of course, this does not apply to blatant vandalism that displays that the editor clearly understand what they are doing, and/or they repeatedly do it after being told (on their talk page) that those kinds of edits are not appreciated here. In these cases, the following punishments will be enacted.
