Old vandalism reporting stuff

 * Template:Vip
 * Category:Vandalism in progress

I didn't realize anybody even knew we still had these until I found an old use of the template from early this month on a user page, that the blocking admin failed to remove. There's no reason to report vandals this way. Most will be caught by an admin patrolling recent changes or reported on IRC, and those that are reported on-wiki are best reported by editing Vandalism in progress directly, which will show up on watchlists (or on my dashboard), will be more obvious on recent changes, is less likely to provoke an angry response ("STOP VANDALIZING MY USER PAGE!!!11!!1!", etc.), and less likely to be abused by a troll. (I'm not aware of any instances of the last two occurring, but they are possible, and even if they don't happen, the first two mean that it's easier to admins to find the report and therefore are reason enough to do it that way.) Bottom line: this is a relic of 2006, and it shows.
