This page is intended to get administrator attention quickly when dealing with persistent vandals.

Editors: Before listing a vandal here make sure that:

The vandal has been warned with the appropriate warning templates. If you can't justify leaving these messages on a user's talk page, it likely isn't vandalism.
The vandal vandalized within the last few hours and after the final warning. If so add the IP or user to the bottom of this page in the following format (remember to replace spaces with underscores):
{{vandal|username_or_ip}} optional brief reason for listing (keep it short) -- ~~~~

Do not list here if:

The incident is not vandalism but a content dispute
They have not vandalized very recently (past 2 hours), nor since the last warning ({{test3}} or {{test4}})

If an administrator removes the vandal listing and doesn't handle the matter to your satisfaction, take it to the administrator's talk page, the administrators' noticeboard or Misplaced Pages:Requests for investigation, but do not re-list the user here.

Admins

For each alert, check the contributions and if the user has been warned.
If user hasn't been warned, do so. If the user continues after warnings, block the user, leave the vandal a message explaining the block, and remove the entry from the list.
Remove the user from this page. Mention it on your edit summary, adding "list empty" or equivalent words when removing the last entry. Please consider adding this page to your watchlist to make life easier for non-administrator RC-patrollers.

Please also consider adding WP:AIV/TB2 to your watchlist for automated alerts from Tawkerbot2.

You can hide its display by placing #AIAV_header { display: none; } into your user CSS.
