This page in a nutshell: Don't vandalize - You could get banned!

Vandals beware! Despite indicating otherwise, Wikipedia Administrators actually like reverting vandalism. Yes, it’s true. It elevates them within the community, looks good on their record, and gives them something to do. The common vandal may think he's causing trouble, annoying Wikipedia editors and so forth, but in fact he is fueling the Administrators' hunger for reverting and blocking. After all, they took the time to become Administrators, so it serves to reason that they enjoy it. So, to any would be vandals out their, STOP! Simply refrain from vandalizing - it will cause more anguish for the Administrators as their lives will be without purpose.
