My edit to Wikipedia:Legal vandalism

Hello! You have reverted an edit using WP:Twinkle. But this is not as obvious case as you may thought.

The page Wikipedia:Legal vandalism is a page that humorously explains how to vandalise a page (of course, vandalism in not allowed on Wikipedia and bad-faith edits should be reverted as soon as possible). It's not an article. It's a page for jokes, because, of course, editors should not vandalise pages. But see the Wikipedia talk:Legal vandalism. The problem is that the page tells people how to add copyvio and libel to the sandbox. I agree with the editor who mentioned the problem at the Discussion page, so I have replaced the text with "How to add bad unuseful text" advice.

I know that the edit is vandalism. But: 1) this page has already contained vandalism (it's all about illustrative vandalism, not actual vandalism). 2) it's dubious that people are encouraged to post copyvio, even in humorous essays.

I think we should discuss the page now. ParticipantOfTheEncyclopedia (talk) 19:08, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
