I have now added it to the Vandalism wiki page [1]i. Do please 'watch'
that wiki page and let's continue the conversation by finessing the
vandalism page with discussion on the vandalism talk page. I have
created a new category 'Counter vandalism' [2] (previous called 'anti-
vandalism') for all pages relating to vandalism response.
As a general comment can we please start using the wiki for more
conversations - talk is now so busy most of the time that I don't even
read it and much of the detail could be handled with much more
precision using the wiki.
There is a WikiCleanup project[3] that aims to get the wiki into a
better state with better categories, linkage, titles and content! Do
please join us because it is a big but very important job.
