Or maybe a troll?

A WikiTroll, unlike a WikiGnome, is a person who purposefully defaces a document on a wiki. There are a few methods in place for dealing with WikiTrolls.

How to revert a page

Any page can be reverted to a previous version. Simply click "diff" in [/wiki/Special:RecentChanges Recent changes], and then click "undo". State after the text that is already in the summary box that you are reverting because of a troll and click "Save page". This can also be accomplished by comparing versions of a article in its page history.

After repeated defacings, an offender's IP address can be blocked by [/wiki/Special:ListAdmins several users] who have sysop rights. These admins pay careful attention to the [/wiki/Special:RecentChanges recent changes] page, and will [/wiki/Special:BlockList block] IP addresses where/when appropriate.
