If a page on a project other than BackupWiki that has been backed up on BackupWiki is vandalized, people can use the page from BackupWiki and overwrite the vandalized page on the original wiki.

How you can help

Copy articles that are at risk of sneaky vandalism and put them as subpages of wikispore:BackupWiki (not wikispore:BackupWiki/Main Page)
