Are there any graphs/information around showing vandalisim levels compared to the required number of edits required for autoconfirmed status?
Not entirely sure what you mean. You would need to put a solid definition on 'vandalism', in any case. I guess you could use ClueBot stats, but that would be incredibly lacking in data.

"Number of rollback edits as a proportion of all edits made" would be a good start - it certainly won't indicate the absolute amount of vandalism, since only a fraction of all vandalism is dealt with this way, but it should show up broad trends in the frequency of it. Detectable through edit summaries, too, no need to compare the actual edits.
(The main thing this wouldn't show up would be pagemove vandalism, or template vandalism - the latter *has* historically been something of a response to page protection.)
Maybe someone should institute quizzes for anybody that gets template-warned. Pass the quiz and the warner gets notified that you slipped, which will probably happen in some other way, elsewhere, because nobody like all the rules.

Maybe quizzes for anyone who template-warns.

1. Have you ever been accused of this offense yourself? 2. Which of the five pillars does this warning most strongly relate to? 3. Does this warning relate to content on: an article an article talk page a user page a user talk page an edit summary (pick *all* that apply, and be prepared to support it.) 4. How old were you when you saw that what you say does not make it true? 5. Do your own edits concern mostly content or other users? 6. Does honest vandalism exist? 7. How many times were you warned about unnecessary reversions? 8. a. How many times were your motions to block someone reversed? b. "" ""... ignored? 9. Guess how many people really care how the edits you reverted go?
(Those questions are easier. Thanks.) _______ This tagline was ruthlessly recycled, reused, and reduced before I stole it.
