Any other value will disable this functionality (only in cases of bot malfunctions, please). MergeDuplicates: On to enable automatic merging of multiple reports of the same person. Any other value will disable this functionality. AutoMark: On to enable automatic marking of special IPs as defined at User:HBC AIV helperbot/Special IPs. Any other value will disable this functionality. FixInstructions: On to enable automatic repair of the reporting instruction HTML comments in the User-reported section of the page, as defined at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism/instructions. Any other value will disable this functionality. AutoBacklog: On to enable the automatic switching on or off of the {{adminbacklog}} message. Any other value will disable this functionality. Associated parameters are: AddLimit: The number of vandalism reports at which the {{adminbacklog}} message will be made visible.

[edit] new users with obvious 'knowlegde' of vandalism

Does Wikipedia take any action of logging the IP-s used to create and contrib with for vandal users who have created accounts? As with Llamasoop858xsv, who arrived and went on a spree, obviously only interested in destroying as much as possible before getting blocked? (Thankfully, infinite for that one.) Are there any possibility to ask for some kind of IP-block or brand for such users, who obviously only arrives to destroy? It's something with the pattern... the speed of vandalism. My guess would be many of these are the same person arriving again and again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Greswik (talk • contribs) 17:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

Nevermind, I found this is taken care of with Wikipedia:Autoblock Greswik 18:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

You may also wish to see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser (generally used sparingly, but in certain situations, it can be quite useful). – Luna Santin (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
