I noticed that a user named "grawp" was able to do this and another redirected everyone's talk page to a nonsense one. How did they do this?

    They made their own programs that edit pages very quickly. These people really don't have lives if they make programs just to vandalize Wikipedia. Why do you want to vandalize Wikipedia? It's a complete waste of time, and your mass-vandalism edits will get reverted as soon as they are discovered.

    First of all: You don't vandalize Wikipedia. It's a complete waste of time (as you'll swiftly be blocked and your changes reverted with only a few clicks), and ultimately completely unproductive.

    Grawp does it primarily by using a lot of different user accounts and getting a lot of different people to do it in his name. He's not so much one insipid individual (though there is at least one principal Grawp) as a cartload of losers who have nothing better to do.

    In the long run, however, mass-vandalism of Wikipedia is unviable. The people combatting vandalism will always have a significant advantage in numbers and technical privileges, and vandalism is so easy to fix and vandals so easy to block that even the most persistent cretins only manage it in short bursts.

    You do a barrel roll with a Boeing 737, then all the pages are automatically vandalized, to denote your achievement in barrel rolling.

    They cried until they got red in the face, then held their breath until they passed out. Just like any baby throwing a temper tantrum.

    Why on earth would you want to do this? Only a selfish moron would be capable of such a stupid thing.
