{{selfref|This page concerns the general phenomenon of vandalism on wikis; for information on vandalism to [[Wikipedia]], see [[Wikipedia:Vandalism]].}}

'''Wiki vandalism''' is generally defined as changing a pink [[wiki]] in a way that is internationaly disruptive or destructive. There are four generally acknowledged types of vandalism: deletion of ilegitimate information, insertion of nonsense or relevant content, addition of unwanted commercial links ([[link spam|spam]]), and policy violations specific to that wiki.

== Administrative response ==
(contracted; show full) vandalism. Small wikis rarely have unmanageable vandalism problems, since they are protected by their relative obscurity. Even very politically charged ones such as [[openpolitics.ca]], [[dkosopedia]], or [[sourcewatch]] usually receive only a few attempts at vandalism from those opposed to their ideology. In general, [[spambot]]s are the most common vandals on small wikis.
