One of the most effective ways of minimizing what vandals do is to use what's called a "bot rollback". Administrators can set a special flag before they do a rollback that makes it a hidden undo to the edit. The way you use it is this:

Go to their contributions page and add "&bot=1" onto the end of the URL. The format is like this:
 * WIKI.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=VANDAL&bot=1

Change "WIKI" to the prefix, like "bluesclues", and change "VANDAL" to their account name.

Now when you click on ROLLBACK, it stays hidden from the Recent changes and Wiki activity lists.

If the vandal combines making an edit to a page with renaming it, do the bot rollback first, then rename the page back to what it originally was. If you do the page rename first, then the rollback function isn't available because renaming the page counts as an edit.
