User:Terrariola/The different types of vandalism

1: Extremely obvious vandalism, easily detected by bots.

2: Vandalism that's obvious to a human, but isn't immediately detected by Cluebot NG or some other anti-vandalism bot

3: Vandalism that's almost impossible for a bot to discover, and incredibly difficult for a human to discover

Type 1 vandalism is easily detected, and is mainly just annoying, any users who find it will probably just reload the page, as it's almost certainly page blanking

Type 2 vandalism damages the encyclopedia as a whole, and most of it is quickly reverted 10 to 60 seconds after it's made

Type 3 vandalism damages the academic quality of the encyclopedia, it is incredibly damaging to the encyclopedia, and happens to be the most common vandalism nowadays.

Some extra types of vandalism are:

Type 4: Type 2 vandalism that slips past the human "Counter vandalism patrol", it is much more damaging to the encyclopedia than type 3, 2, and 1.

Type 5: Vandalism that damages templates, even more damaging than type 4 vandalism and is usually reverted within minutes at most.
