Vandalism
Vandalism can be defined as a deliberate attempt to damage the wiki, made in bad faith. We can identify a few types of vandalism, based on the goals and targets of the vandal's edits.
 * Accidental vandalism. Although vandalism is defined as "a deliberate attempt to damage the wiki", sometimes it's hard to tell if a contribution, especially one made an unknown user, is made in bad faith or in good faith. It's always better to assume the best in a user, so these should be simply undo and the user should be given a warning if possible.
 * Juvenile (or Minor) vandalism. This sort of vandalism includes, for example, changing a random word on a page to "dick", or "Mike is cool". The vandal may be a child, or may just be having a bad day and wanting a snicker- they are in the same sort of position as someone who scribbles something onto a bathroom stall, which is something we have all done at some point in our lives. Ultimately, a short ban is statistically likely to stop the user from vandalizing again.
 * Bot vandalism.
