How to deal with vandalism
Normal Users
If you notice someone vandalize a page, firstly remove the vandalism. We do not want readers finding a vandalized article, especially if it uses swear words as there are young readers out there. Then, notify an administrator. There is a list of active administrators at Wikisimpsons:Administrators. Alternatively, you can report it. There is a link at the bottom of each article. explain the problem there.
Rollback and Admins
Administrators and users with rollback are allowed to place the vandalism template on the user talk page of the vandal. To do this, type {{subst:Vandalism|Article name}} For example, {{Subst:Vandalism|Marge Simpson}} will be displayed as:
Warning
