A '''WikiTroll''',  unlike a [[HRWiki:WikiGnome|WikiGnome]], is a person who purposefully defaces a document on a wiki. There are a few methods in place for dealing with WikiTrolls.

==How to revert a page==
 +
Any page can be reverted to a previous version. Simply click "diff" in [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]], and then click "undo". State after the text that is already in the summary box that you are reverting because of a troll and click "Save page". This can also be accomplished by comparing versions of a article in its page history.
-
== Known Offenders ==
+
After repeated defacings, an offender's IP address can be blocked by [[Special:Listadmins|several users]] who have [[HRWiki:Sysops|sysop]] rights. These admins pay careful attention to the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page, and will [[Special:Ipblocklist|block]] IP addresses where/when appropriate.
-
If you see any suspicious, defamatory, or objectionable behavior by any individuals on our wiki, please add their IP address to the list following the same format as the example shown below.  For our purposes, an "offense" is defined as the defacement of a single document of our wiki.
+
<!--
-
''Now, this table format might be a bit confusing, so if you can't figure it out, just toss the date, IP address, and pages defaced down at the bottom of the page and someone will fix it for you.  We're flexible like that.''

This user has been a nuisance (see above), and banning his IP won't work.  Most likely it is a dynamic IP that can be reassigned at request.  Tom banned 64.246.132.116, so the troll just requested a new IP -- that's why the first three numbers are identical.  I don't know what further measures we can take against someone so stupidly determined to troll, but that's most likely what's happening.

Or maybe a troll?

A WikiTroll, unlike a WikiGnome, is a person who purposefully defaces a document on a wiki. There are a few methods in place for dealing with WikiTrolls.

[edit] How to revert a page

Any page can be reverted to a previous version. Simply click "diff" in Recent changes, and then click "undo". State after the text that is already in the summary box that you are reverting because of a troll and click "Save page". This can also be accomplished by comparing versions of a article in its page history.

After repeated defacings, an offender's IP address can be blocked by several users who have sysop rights. These admins pay careful attention to the recent changes page, and will block IP addresses where/when appropriate.
