Should meta:No_open_proxies be mentioned as a prevention measure?
When on VPN I get the meta:No open proxies message which blocks me from editing. Should this be added to the list of prevention measures?

Contingency plan for Established User or Administrator vandalism?
Should the article mention if there is any sort of contingnecy plan for "rogue" trusted users or administrators? I'm relatively new here but imagine the damage that could be caused by an administrator with full privileges vandalizing protected articles.
- No automated bot reversal.
- No ability for ordinary users to revert.
- No flagging by watchdog programs.
Is there some sort of protocol that would be followed in the case of administrator malfeasance or vandalism? If so this should be mentioned in the article. It might seem like an unlikely outcome but as we've seen on other platforms such as Reddit, admin meltdowns can happen and when they do it can become a very messy situation. I hope Misplaced Pages as thought this sort of thing through and has some sort of plan in place for it.
Add All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 to the miscellaneous section.
Due to people editing Gordon Freeman's death into the article in response to the web series Half Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware, it might get people to stop.

In 2017, Buzzfeed Unsolved paranormal investigators visited Old Alton Bridge in Texas and claimed ownership of it over the mythical Goatman said to inhabit the bridge. This led to a number of fans attempting to change the Misplaced Pages article to reflect their self-purported ownership.
Sorry if it is a bit trivial for the article, it just feels like quite a prominent example of vandalism that could be worth including. Mr Blumenthal (talk) 10:11, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Not done, it isn't a significant enough example to include. --Mvqr (talk) 11:35, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

On Svante Pääbo's Article
There was an incident not long after the announcement of the Nobel Prize winner where someone had edited a person's full personal info onto the beginning of his article. The edit has since been purged from the edit log. Perhaps this should be included in the "Miscellaneous" section. TheOneTEM (definitely a human) (talk) 23:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
