Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism
Before reporting, read the spam and vandalism pages, as well as the AIV guide. To submit, edit this page and follow the instructions at the top of the "User-reported" section. For other issues, file a request for administrator attention.
- The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
- Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
- The warning(s) must have been given recently and there must be reasonable grounds to believe the user(s) will further disrupt the site in the immediate future.
- If you decide that a report should be filed, place the following template at the bottom of the User-reported section:
* {{Vandal|Example user or temp account}} Your concise reason (e.g. vandalised past 4th warning). ~~~~
- Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
- Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations unless the connection between the accounts is obvious and disruption is recent and ongoing.
This noticeboard can grow and become backlogged; the guidelines above are in place to help administrators focus on the most urgent issues. Before notifying administrators at another forum about a backlog on this page, consider whether the remaining reports are actionable. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action.

- @16dvnk, you probably don't need to throw your own boomerang at AIV. If I had thought it necessary I would have said something. Izno (talk) 23:37, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
