It’s been hard not to notice an increase in malicious edits and bot activity recently.

In particular repeated edits by the same people, which keep needing to be rolled back. Is there any steps that can be taken to prevent these people from contributing, such as IP blocks? JR Snow 08:16, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes, measures such as blocking user accounts or IP addresses exist in this wiki, but only one of the administrators can do that. --Akhorahil 13:53, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
