This page is considered an official policy on Wookieepedia. It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that everyone should follow. Except for minor edits, please make use of the discussion page to propose changes to this policy.

Vandalism on Wookieepedia is defined as any edits made in a deliberate attempt to lower the quality of the wiki. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Replacing the text of an article or a section of an article with blank text.
• Uploading inappropriate images, or replacing existing images with inappropriate images.
• Adding nonsense, obscenities, or bad jokes to existing articles.
• Creating new articles which are entirely off-topic nonsense.
• Moving a page to a new, nonsensical title.
• Adding external links to pages for the purpose of advertising. (This is a form of spam, sometimes called "linkspam" or "spamdalism".)

An editor who vandalises the wiki may be blocked from making further edits, according to Wookieepedia:Blocking policy.

Any good-faith attempt to improve Wookieepedia, even if it is misguided, should not be considered vandalism. This may include:

• Adding information to the wiki from unreliable sources (assuming the editor in question is not aware that the sources are unreliable).
• Adding information which may or may not be correct, but doing so in a way which violates Wookieepedia:Manual of Style, Wookieepedia:Layout Guide, the rules of MediaWiki syntax, or the rules of American English grammar and spelling.
• Removing information which the editor believes to be incorrect.
