 | This page in a nutshell: Beware of bad editors and do not support their misbehavior. |
The Wikibaddies are Wikipedians whose sole objective is to disrupt the encyclopedia and its contributors. Although some of these unpleasant editors are easy to find and report, a considerable number of them are good at disguising their deplorable actions. Understanding these editors and how their actions hurt Wikipedia is an important step in helping to stop them.
Never underestimate the ability of Wikibaddies and always make sure to remain civil when interacting with them.
