On Wikipedia, vandalism is when a user makes bad changes to Wikipedia on purpose. They might do any or all of the things listed below. Vandalism is a very bad problem, and people who keep doing it may be blocked from making changes. Test edits, like those made in the sandbox are usually not vandalism. But in some cases, it can be, especially if the content is offensive or attacks other people.
