Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

Attention:

Administrator intervention against vandalism is only intended for reports of recent obvious vandalism or obvious spam. In all but very rare cases some degree of warning should have been issued before reporting here. Disruptive editing of any other type, such as edit warring or sock puppetry, should be reported elsewhere:

Edit warring: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring
Sock puppetry: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations
Other types of disruptive editing: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents

AIV notation templates

New to AIV? Read me!

Administrators: These are comment templates commonly used to notate vandalism reports that may require special attention. To use, place the template after the submission you are notating (do not substitute!). The main template may be found at Template:AIV.

The template must be indented at least once in order for the bot to remove the report the template is attached to.

Editors: Please feel free to use these when applicable to comment on reports. Try to keep commentary brief and remember that, while we appreciate your opinion, it is not final, and administrators are not guaranteed to follow the same course of action as you would.

Note: Where there is a parameter of X, Y, or Z, a specific time period may be indicated. For example:

{{AIV|oldwarn|Y}} produces

Stale warning. Last warning was issued Y ago.

Proper usage is:

{{AIV|oldwarn|1 month}} produces

Stale warning. Last warning was issued 1 month ago.
