Handling personal information: On-wiki steps they can take edit

In a case like this, the first and most important step someone experiencing harassment should take is to contact oversighters directly. If oversighters don't exist on the project in question, instead contact the Wikimedia stewards through email or on IRC. ("IRC" stands for "Internet Relay Chat", and is a popular form of communication among the Wikimedia community.) This should be done as quietly as possible to avoid drawing attention to the personal information and to prevent its spread.

Administrators might wish to take action against the poster of this PII, assuming it was posted with malicious intent or is posted repeatedly.
