Someone who did something bad has been messing with my wiki page for my guild, they keep trying to "destroy" it, while I can just fix it is there some way to put a stop to it?
I won't name names because of the naming and shaming thing.
Is there some way to stop someone from....

:S
if its just one edit, i think you can undo it by going to history and hitting "undo" to the latest change. if the abuse is frequent enough, i'd consider saving a copy of the code on my hard drive as back up.

you can revert as many edits as you like
On a MediaWiki wiki (such as Wikipedia or the SK wiki), the entire editing history of an article is stored, so you can revert as many edits as you like. There is no reason to store a local copy. This allows you to fix occasional vandalism yourself, no matter how bad it is.
For repeated vandalism, Glacies is right that you should file a complaint. If the user gets new accounts and vandalizes you from those too, then complain about those too. Good luck.

Ah okay
Thanks so much guys, and thank you specifically Glacies, I'm glad you keep an eye on it.
I assume you're talking about the Gears of Gods page. I have been contacting Game-Masters about it and they've been banning anyone who's been vandalizing the page and reverting any changes they have done.
In the long run, there is no other way to prevent it since only Admins (IE: Gamemasters) have admin-permissions on the Wiki. Myself and Lithium along with a few other people keep a watchful eye on the wiki and usually undo any vandalism attempts.
tl;dr: No, you cannot put a stop to it. However, if this said person is bugging you, I do suggest contacting Gamemasters via the Support Portal and informing them about the situation.
