If you see any vandalism on the LGPedia, we'd really appreciate your assistance in getting rid of it - you don't need to wait for an administrator to fix it. Follow this simple procedure to revert vandalism quickly:

  1. Click on the "History" tab at the top of the article.
  2. Click on the time and date of the last good version of the article.
  3. Click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the page.
  4. You'll get a warning saying you are editing an out-of-date version. This is what you're supposed to see.
  5. Enter a brief reason for the revert in the edit summary at the bottom of the page, such as "rv vandalism".
  6. Click "Save page".

That will get rid of the vandalism.

If you like, you can also warn the user who vandalized the article by using the following procedure:

  1. Click on the "History" tab at the top of the article.
  2. Click on the word talk beside the name or IP number of the editor which vandalized the article.
  3. You will either see an edit box or an existing talk page; if a talk page already exists, click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page.
  4. Place the vandal template on the talk page by typing this and saving the page:
{{vandal}} ~~~~

That's it. If the user is repeatedly vandalizing the LGPedia, you can leave a message on the talk page of one of our administrators: Brucker, JayHenry,OwenIsCool, Jonpro, or Zoey.
