Hi All,
There has recently been a "session" of vandalism on the wiki, here is a short guide on what you can do to help:
1. Tell someone who cares
Post a reply in this post and then click the Report Button http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/xdabuttons/report.gif to notify all forum moderators via e-mail to the problem.
2. It's a wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki), you can help out too
By clicking on Recent Changes (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RecentChanges) in the wiki you can see all the changes that have occured over the past few days.
Click on Diff next to the Edit that caused the vandalism.
Ensure the changes you want to revert are shown in the diff and that no valid information will be lost.
If so, you will have to manually revert the changes by editing the page.
Click on the previous revision number (in this case 4) on the line that reads
Older page: version 4 (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DaveShaw&version=4) Last edited on September 2, 2008 5:04 pm. by DaveShaw (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DaveShaw)
Scroll to the bottom of the wiki page (press the End key) and Click Edit Old Revision
Click Save to save the previous version over the current one.
Any problems please feel free to ask.
Thanks
Dave
