==History==
The first page used for tracking vandalism was a user subpage, [[Nost:ManningBartlett/Naughty people|ManningBartlett/Naughty people]], some time before 4 November 2001. The vandalism in progress page was established as VANDALISM IN PROGRESS [http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=VANDALISM_IN_PROGRESS&oldid=53359 on 1 December 2001] - the title was upper-case to make it easily distinguishable on [[Help:Recent changes|recent changes]]). Around the same time, the Wikipedia Militia (since renamed to the [[Wikipedia:Volunteer Fire Department|Volunteer Fire Department]]) was formed to coordinate responses to press releases about Wikipedia. The "VANDALISM IN PROGRESS" page was moved to the Wikipedia namespace in August 2002 and was renamed to the current title in 2006. Its archives since 2003 may be found in [[Wikipedia:Requests for investigation/Archives]] and the talk archives since august 2002 can be found in the history of [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for investigation/Archive 4]] and in text form as subpages of [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for investigation]]. Old subpages can also be found through [[special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress]]. the [[Wikipedia:Long-term abuse|long-term abuse]] page also grew out of "vandalism in progress". A section on the "vandalism in progress" page for persistent vandalism was added in [[special:Diff/2320532|February 2004]], later [[Special:Diff/3978249|abandoned]], and then re-created as [[special:Diff/6261911|"Ongoing alerts"]] in September 2004; in December 2004 it was [[Special:Diff/8985967|split off]] to [[special:permalink/8995625|its own page]], titled [[Special:Permalink/43183012|Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress/Long term alerts]].
