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.

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. The dates with an individual's name indicate how many offenses the person has committed and when they were committed. For our purposes, an "offense" is defined as the defacement of a single document of our wiki. Admins should block the IP address of the offender after three offenses within a two month period. If an offense remains listed here after two months, it should be removed.

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.
