Definition of Vandalism, from the Wiktionary:
"Needless damage or destruction of property, usually someone else's property or common or shared property."
Vandalism in wikis
In terms of wikis, vandalism is adding any unwanted content to or removing any wanted content from the web site. Some vandalism is done by bots. Sneaky bot is a term coined by CJ, for a "fake spam cleaner". A user who pretends to clean spam just to fool people into thinking the spam is removed when all they do is make a small edit or remove a few lines of spam.
Generally, in WoWWiki, this means is adding content to this wiki not about or related to WoWWiki, Warcraft or World of Warcraft or ruining existing information. See the definition according to policy.
Before you start reverting vandalism: Please read "About reverting vandalism".
