I gave them a warning for now and made it clear that repetition of such edits can lead to him being considered a vandal. For now, we'll consider this a disruptive edit.
Deleted.

Bad edit, and I couldn’t find this fight in the forum.
I reverted the change.
Since they are a new member, they probably don’t yet know how things work.

If there was a character that was stated to hold back in the fight, and because of that their profile requires a far higher rating but I forgot to do that do I have to make a Crt

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Alrasid_(Balanced_Craftwars_Overhaul) This is the profile, recently made and pretty much done, the far higher rating comes from several statments that he was holding back, and said by devs for multipliers

Added several abilities without a CRT and the only justification being "self-evident".
Not malicious, as far as Masked can tell, but they may need a refresher on the editing rules.

I can say those are valid and just extension of their already existing resistances, they're just clarified since they got numbers on it

Someone should tell the user to provide proof behind their claims as it contradicts the profiles writing "brother".

Masked isn't certain about what is going on here.
Punizher24 has been warned in the past about changing header images.
They changed the header image for Younger Toguro (https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Younger_Toguro?diff=9450885&oldid=9179305),
but also undid their own changes (https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Younger_Toguro?diff=9450886&oldid=9450885)
They then changed the Tiering and header image (https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Younger_Toguro?diff=9450942&oldid=9450886), but undid their own changes again.
Three minutes later, they changed it again, and then undid it again.

The user Lifesophia20565 deleted the existing quote for Sonic, although they did substitute them with a new one.
They have also been changing the ages of all of the Sonic Boom characters, including Sticks, who has no official age.
Does Masked have permission to revert them back?

I found this user with a similar name and the same habits of vandalizing and reverting. He has been vandalizing this profile for quite some time.
Another user named JustAFanJan22 is also doing the same thing. They might be the same person or a group of people who dislike VsBattles.
- 2,603

I've previously warned JustaFanJan22, and they later reached out on my message wall. That talk concluded with me making it clear that repeated behavior could eventually result in a ban. If this is the same individual operating under a new username, then a ban may be justified. Given the striking similarity in behavior, I would not be surprised if they are the same person (but I am not willing to bet on this), perhaps @Antvasima could confirm with FANDOM whether the accounts share the same IP???
Punizher24 and Punizher20 are clearly operated by the same person, so they should be required to choose one account to keep.
Yes, go ahead. They’re removing content from the wiki and ruining the tabbers by leaving only a single tab header, which defeats the purpose of the tabbers.

Masked has undone all of the edits, except for Sticks.
Ztesrxgdfjcvgkbh has changed her age to 16, citing "Sonic Boom: Le guide officiel". However, there is no scan or CRT attached.
Should Masked undo this as well?

Not malicious, but this is messing up the formatting of the page.
Also, a lot of the info they're inserting is unofficial.
May Masked undo the changes?

Yes.
If they're just messing the format of the page, you can outright revert them without even asking.

Hello, Ant. The accounts involved are
Just a Butler believes that both Punizher accounts are run by the same person, due to similar names and actions.
However, Butler needs you to check if JustAFanJan22 shares the same IP.

HitmanEdits added some feats, but they don't seem to understand the formatting or editing rules.
Masked has reverted the edits, since they messed with the formatting of the page, but they were wondering if the feats should be kept.

AthelChan added several resistances to The Pathfinder, with the justification being "additional way to get the ability, very blatant"
These are the same resistances that Adasdadadsada attempted to add previously.
(Question: if Masked makes consecutive reports, would staff prefer that they edit their reports into one post, or keep them separate?)
In addition, these are not only existing resistances. Many of these resistances appear to be new to the profile.

While they may be valid, you still require a Content Revision Thread to change the justifications on a profile.

hello but i didnt readded those resistances. WAIT DOES EDITING IT ON SOURCE CODE WHILE ON REVISION HISTORY RESTORES IT???

I don't know, but you're not using the actual source edit, you're only using the source edit mode on VisualEdit platform. Preferably have that changed.

i already removed those as i plan to make a CRT (albeit useless one without nagging staff i love getting 2 votes for minor resistances addition) for those.

I meant that you should ideally set your editing preferences to source edit, as outlined on the editing rules page.
Tag: Source edit means you're simply switching from Visual Editor to Visual Editor - source mode. It is not the actual source editor, and Visual Edit source mode likely shares the same bugs as Visual Edit. And the source mode of the VE platform has more issues than source editor.
You have to change your preferences here:
And select Source editor. Not VisualEditor or VisualEditor - source mode.

Ant already warned the user for it.
Depends on the intent, this could also just be a clueless user (which would make this a disruptive edit only).

The changes he made were approved here; it would be good to advise him to add the CRT link in the summary section next time so that it isn’t mistaken for vandalism.

They previously stated they wouldn't repeat this behavior, yet it has happened again across two different accounts (that we weren't supposed to know belongs to the same user).
How do you think this should be handled? They are spamming the edit histories of pages by editing and reverting their edits repeatedly.
They've already been warned here as Punizher24 (for a slightly different reason):
- 2,603
- 5,160
Punizher20I am not sure, due to not remembering well exactly what they have done, to what scale, and with how many total warnings.
- Haphazardly replacing character header images (2022)
- Messing up image sizes and formatting (2021)
- Repetition (2022) [User was warned that they would be banned if continued]
- Another resizing (2025)
- Editing an image and then reverting them repeatedly to spam the edit history (2026)
- With a clarification to not repeat it in order to avoid a ban.
