উইকিপিডিয়া:ধ্বংসপ্রবণতা: সংশোধিত সংস্করণের মধ্যে পার্থক্য

The best way to detect vandalism is through [[Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol|recent changes patrolling]], using the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] link to spot articles with edits that had come from IP addresses, or keeping an eye on your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]]. The [[Help:What links here|what links here]] pages for [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Insert text|Insert text]], [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Link title|Link title]], [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Headline_text|Headline text]], [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Bold_text|Bold text]], [[:Image:Example.jpg#filelinks|Image:Example.jpg]] and [[:Image:Example.ogg#filelinks|Image:Example.ogg]] are also good places to find many test edits or vandalism. The [[Wikipedia:automatic edit summaries|auto-summary feature]] can also help users spot vandalism, as can viewing the [[Special:AbuseLog|abuse log]]. Edits [[Special:tags|tagged]] by the abuse filter may also contain vandalism. However, many tagged edits are legitimate, so they should not be blindly reverted. In addition, the [[Help:Page history|edit history]] of an article may be checked for any recent suspicious edits, and compared with the version after any previous revert or cluster of non-suspicious edits. This method checks many suspicious edits at the same time.

 

If you see vandalism in an article the simplest thing to do is just to remove it. But take care! Sometimes vandalism takes place on top of older, undetected vandalism. With undetected vandalism, editors may make edits without realizing the vandalism occurred, and this can make it harder to detect and delete the vandalism, which is now hidden amongst other edits. Sometimes [[WP:Bots|bots]] try to fix collateral damage and accidentally make things worse. Check the [[Help:Page history|edit history]] to make sure you're [[Help:Reverting|reverting]] to a 'clean' version of the page, or if you can't tell where the best place is, take your best guess and leave a note on the article's [[WP:Talk page|talk page]] so that someone more familiar with the page can address the issue—or you can manually remove the vandalism without reverting the page back.
