Corollary: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:3RR">3RR rule</a> still applies since it's not blatant vandalism.

It can be filtered according to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FA">featured articles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GA">good articles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLP">living people</a>, new accounts' contribs, IPs' contribs, mobile contribs (as these are more prone to vandalism, see <a href="/wiki/Help:Recent_changes" title="Help:Recent changes">Help:Recent changes</a>), and even by likelihood of being damaging or bad-faith. Searching for pages by their <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Namespace" title="Wikipedia:Namespace">namespace</a> and specific <a href="/wiki/Special:Tags" title="Special:Tags">tags</a> (e.g. VisualEditor, possible BLP issue or vandalism, etc.) can also be done. If they contain harmful edits, you revert to the previous version. However, the high volume of edits that occur each second makes this difficult to accomplish most of the time, and several tools have been created to simplify the process: </p> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle" title="Wikipedia:Huggle">Huggle</a></b> is a fast diff browser which parses edits from users and sorts them by predicted level of vandalism. Once identified, malicious edits can be reverted in the click of a button.
