Vandal
"Vandal" je niekto, kto znižuje všeobecne vnímanú kvalitu článkov, zvyčajne pre zábavu, alebo vkladá úplné nezmysly do diskusií, vo veľkom maže články, alebo iným spôsobom nerešpektuje ostatných efektívnejších prispievateľov.

Trolls may or may not qualify as vandals. Some think they are social vandals. These tend to be the same people that believe that a Wikimedia wiki is a sort of community.
Wiki Spammers are a type of vandal who add unwanted external links to wiki articles in order to promote their websites (or their customer's websites) in search engine rankings. MediaWiki has some Anti-spam Features. In particular, most new MediaWiki installations use the 'rel=nofollow' attribute on all external links, meaning that spamming those wikis is a completely pointless thing to do!
