Vandalism is when people change the wiki in a bad way on purpose. A vandalized page will be changed back to an old version. If you vandalize a page, you may be blocked for some time (or forever) from editing and you won't be able to change Simple English Wikiquote any more.

Examples of vandalism:

  • Removing text from pages
  • Making new pages with bad things
  • Spamming or advertising
  • Making fake quotes
  • Adding nonsense to pages
