That could probably go under less-than-productive edits (it's a
stretch, though).

What is rather worse is the truly malicious users.  Can anyone really
claim that inserting child abuse allegations into [[Wikipedia]] is
merely a "less helpful" edit?

I think it is not too unreasonable to suppose that Wikipedia has made
enemies, and will continue to make enemies; nor to allow that these
people may be disruptive in ways more significant than the average
page-blanker.
