Earlier tonight I had been on the Overwatch wiki looking at the back stories for various characters for some future projects I was planning to do related to the game. Well I'd been on the D.Va page for sometime and I had switched tabs to pick a song from a soundtrack playlist on YouTube I was listening to at the time I was looking at this stuff. Now since I'm currently using an IPad as my main source of connecting to the Internet, when I'm not on a certain tab for a period of time, the Safari application refreshes pages when I go back to that tab. Now when I go back to the tab the D.Va page was loaded and refreshed, at first glance I didn't notice anything wrong. However I found out when I got to the quotes section that an anonymous user came on and vandalized the page.

Now the incident started when I decided to cut the admins some slack considering they had a similar problem before with the Soldier 76 page and so I decided to just revert the page to what it was before it was vandalized and get back to what I was doing (it was about after 10 or 11 PM EST). However, when I clicked the publish button to finalize the revert... I don't how or what happened but it looked like as if someone undid the vandalism before I did and I unintentionally undid it. So I go back in and try to revert it back but then I soon found out the hard way my initial revision DID undo the vandalism and I had accidentally undone my own fix. Now of course I finally undid the second undo and put on the revision description explaining that something on my end didn't show up the way it was supposed to and caused me to goof up.

Of course I hoped that if an admin saw the explanation that they would contact me for what exactly happened and I would give them all the information I could on what happened. I check back sometime later only to find out the admin, Gatoutack, gave me a three month block on the wiki for "Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages". Now I feel this block is unjust because I'm ultimately being punished for something that I ultimately had nothing to do with and was in the end corrected despite the unintentional mess up with the first fix. Now before anybody tells me to contact the guy, I considered it but considering the vandal that did the vandalism I ultimately fixed was an anonymous user, there is the possibility that it may cause suspicion that the user responsible is me and may cause things to get worse such as increasing the aforementioned block to being permanent since as far as I know, I cannot check the IP address for my IPad.
