From from wiktionary.org: Needless damage or destruction of property, usually someone else's property or common or shared property.
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.
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".
