- You are a Rugrats Wiki Editor. You are working on a particularly challenging
- wiki article when you notice an influx of new edits in the recent tab. Your
- wiki is being vandalized! You quickly check your other tabs and see that it's
- not just your wiki, but several others have been hit as well
- > quickly contact the admins
- You immediately log into your admin panel to investigate what's going on. There
- are no changes yet, so you assume someone else has already reported the vandalism.
- You then check your other tabs and see that it's not just your wiki, but several
- others have been hit as well
- > try to fix the vandalism myself
- You click on the "Edit" button for each page and begin to make small edits. The
- vandalism isn't quite finished yet, but you're getting close. You don't want
- to leave this site until the vandalism is completely gone.
- > check the recent tab again
- You look at the recent tab and see that a lot of pages have been changed. A few
- of them were deleted, but most had their text replaced with random words or
- sentences. It looks like someone was trying to troll you by replacing some of
- your content with something similar
- > try to ban the IP address of the vandals
- You scroll down the list of banned IP addresses and find one that seems to be
- associated with all the vandalism. You quickly type in the new IP address and
- press enter. This time when you visit the vandalized pages, they show up as
- blank pages
- > run a virus scan
- You open up your antivirus program and perform a full scan. You get an error
- message about a virus, but nothing comes up. You continue to wait patiently.
- Eventually, you see the word "VIRUS" disappear from the screen. You sigh in
- relief. You've found the culprit
- > check the wiki again
- You go back to the wiki and start checking it again. You notice that there are
- now two different versions of the same article: one with the vandalism and another
- without
- > delete the vandalized pages
- You delete the vandalized pages and confirm that they're gone from the wiki.
- You also delete the offending IP address. You close up your browser and take
- a deep breath before continuing.
- > get some rest and check the wiki tomorrow
- You wake up and realize that you haven't checked the wiki since yesterday. You
- decide to check it again. You remember that you need to do a little work on
- the wiki before you can even think about doing anything else today
- > check the recent tab to be safe
- You open up the recent tab and see that a lot of pages have been changed. A few
- of them were deleted, but most had their text replaced with random words or
- sentences

- You check the time on the changes and see that they happened at approximately
- 8am. You go back to sleep hoping that the vandalism will be fixed soon.
- > wake up and ban more IPs
- You open up your browser and check the IPs again. They're still there. You try
- to ban them, but you only get a 403 Forbidden error. You close up your browser
- and take a deep breath before continuing.
- > post your email on the wiki and challenge the trolls to a battle of wits
- You send out an email to the entire wiki saying that anyone who wants to participate
- should come here and prove themselves. You add your own personal information
- and tell people to come here if they want to help fix the vandalism. You hope
- that this will motivate them to help you
- > check my email
- You check your email and see that you got a reply from the admins. They say that
