==Vandalism vs. Erroneous editing==
Any edit that is considered to have been made to '''intentionally''' compromise SmashWiki's integrity is considered an act of vandalism; mistaken edits generally do not fall under this category. In most cases, there is a clear difference between vandalizing an article and inadvertently or unintentionally adding incorrect or inappropriate material. For example, if one were to edit the [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)]] article and add a line of text suggesting that Judgment is the most powerful attack in the game (due to the chance of dealing a one-hit KO when performing the move), that would not be considered vandalism; however, an edit of the article to read "Mr. Gay & Watch is the suckiest character in Melee" quite clearly would be.
