Wikipedia:Deny recognition
 | This essay contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia users. Essays may represent common ideas, or ideas that many users would not support. They are not rules. Think carefully about what they say before following them. |
Some vandals want attention. They try to interrupt the Wikipedia community. They sometimes make Wikipedia users focus time and energy on them. These users enjoy the attention that Wikipedia users give them. Users should not give them special attention.
Some ways to avoid giving them the attention they want:
- Revert and ignore them
- Report to WP:VIP and let an administrator block them
- Do not talk about them on your user page
- Do not have arguments with them
- Do not have revert wars with them (if this can be avoided)
- Do not discuss them on the Discord server
