The answer to problematic editing of information is not to remove the information. There would be no vandalism of articles if all the articles were removed, but that doe not make for a very good encyclopaedia. I am not sure I fully understand the problem, I only came here to look up a specific code, but I undertand there are a great number of variant codes. Surely a simple answer to this is to list a specific example and state it as such. The ACPO official code? Or even more than one example which should make it clear that local variants should not be added to the listing.

::*There is a list under External links for both APCO's first published Ten-code list from a archived newsletter, and APCO's 'official' list snapshot at the Internet Archive. If people want APCO's list, it's not hard to find. And there is no way to "make it clear" to anonymous users or enthusiasts that the list is at a finished point and should not be filled with local variants (remember 'anyone can edit'). It is possible to have editors kill a list that gets out of control again, however. [[Special:Contributions/71.84.227.69|71.84.227.69]] ([[User talk:71.84.227.69|talk]]) 18:22, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
