Question 01
  • Is this a vandalism?
    • Yes
    • No
Answer

No, this is not a vandalism. Let me explain– this edit chopped off the entire lower page, so, it seems to be a vandal edit. But, actually Twinkle is responsible for this, not the editor. So, this should not be called vandalism.

Question 02

Suppose an editor has added the following content in an article

<!--The person who is editing this article and reading this line at this moment is a moron. Hahaha!-->


Well I know this is vandalism, that is not the question. The question is– mention the type of this kind of vandalism?

This is "hidden vandalism"– if your answer was "hidden content vandalism" or something like that with same meaning, still you are correct. Exact wording not necessary. Learn more about this type of vandalism.
