10 anti-vandal reverts, using Twinkle in Special:RecentChanges
[edit]- Show understanding of WP:DTTR
- Show understanding of the differences between good faith and bad faith edits, and how to respond to each.
- The adoptee should analyze the 10 anti-vandal reverts. They should say why they reverted it, what type of vandalism it was, what warning the user was given, and why.
My Diff Checklist
[edit]- Steps to analyzing a diff for vandalism:
- Check the user who made the edit
- Check for past blocks, what's on their talk page, edits, etc.
- If they are a regular, take more care into reverting their edits as it's more likely to be constructive. If you do revert, instead of templating, leave a thoughtful note on their talk page.
- Good faith or bad faith?
- If it's good faith, revert with the good faith button and leave a note as to what they did wrong in the edit summary.
- If it's bad faith, revert with the vandalism button.
- Unsure? Consult Google, the article's references, or possibly past revisions. If you still have no idea, leave it or bring it to someone else's attention.
- Decide whether to warn or not.
- If it's bad faith, warn them. If it's within a few days or a week or so of a block, possibly start at a level 3 warning depending on how bad it is. Make sure it's in a section titled "[Month] [Year]" Example: "February 2018". If there is already one created for this month, add a level higher. If it's already reached level 5, and the user vandalized again, report to WP:AIV
- If it's good faith, decide whether to warn or not. If it was definitely good faith, do nothing, leave a thoughtful note, or leave a a level 1 (not harsh) warning. If it could possibly be vandalism, leave a warning. Warn for test edits.
- Note: This is a basic list. It doesn't include some things, and isn't perfect.
