Report any Vandalism here. Or PM a Mod about it.(here is often better as Mods are busy)

Also, the regular Troper Pages can't be edited by other Tropers now.(save the Moderation)

So what shall we do with the 'Vandalization' parts then, since it is probably of no use?

There's talk about making a Troper Wall/ namespace for friendly vandalism.

It was also discussed, while getting the Wall going, to put the 'vandalism' on the troper's discussion page, for them to edit into the main page later.

The "vandalise" section in troper pages is just "edit comments here". It's slang, but distinct from actual vandalism.

Using it to troll? That's plain old vandalism, up to be reported for a banhammering. And it will have equal chances of appearing if it goes to "Troper Wall" - and thus all the same, report it.

Report genuine vandalism. If it's your page they're editing you should be able to tell whether it's something you want on your page or not. If it's against the rules of the site it'll be deleted (and the person who put it there prevented from doing it again) regardless of where on the site it is.

Feel free to remove anything that anyone puts on your Troper page.
