What is Vandalism

The most important thing about anti-Vandal work is figuring out what edits good faith edit and which are vandalism. good faith edits are done with the intent to help however aren't helpful. Vandalism are edits that are done just to destroy and have forthogh of malice. It is important to recognise the difference between a vandalism edit and a good faith edit, especially because Twinkle gives you the option of labelling edits you revert as such. Please read WP:AGF and WP:NOT VANDALISM and complete the following tasks.

Please explain below the difference between a good faith edit and a vandalism edit, and how you would tell them apart.

Please find three examples of good faith but unhelpful edits, and three examples of vandalism. You don't need to revert the example you find, and I am happy for you to use previous reverts in your edit history if you wish.

Good faith

Vandalism

Anti vandal tools

Now you could do anti vandal work the boring way by refreshing the recent changes page however that is slow and quite tedious. If you feel like it you can try out these anti vandal tools. if you can't get them to work don't worry about it just as long as you got some anti-vandal tools in your arsonal.

Twinkle

This is a tool that I highly recommend that you get.(If you haven't already.) It is very easy to install and It provides users with three types of rollback functions and includes a full library of speedy deletion functions, user warnings and welcomes, maintenance tags, semi-automatic reporting of vandals. When I first found it the number of vandalism I reverted nearly tripled.

Huggle

This is another useful tool that you can use It can be a bit tricky to get to work at first (Especially If you don't use Windows) However the rewards are great. Huggle allows for quite speedy reverts of vandalism and is the backbone of wikipedias anti-vandal front. I would recommend it if you like quick and speedy reverts of vandalism.

STiki

This is useful for getting vandalism that got past the radar. It takes some installation however its worth it. With this tool I've got vandalism that was on a page for over 3 months.

Lupin/Anti-vandal tool

This anti-vandal tool can be described like an old truck not the most shiny or fast tool out there however it chugs along blowing vandalism out of its way. Call me crazy but I used it for over an year and whenever I can't get one of the newer tools to work ill fall back to using this tool because it is so reliable.
