The page history doesn't lie. 

From my observations, some users say this was part of a project. I'm assuming it was Project:Canon. There may have been some confusion in this case. Don't forget that, if you are confused about something and make a disagreeable edit, it's always best to inform the confused editor and tell them politely about their mistake. Discussion can resolve disputes without the need to escalate unnecessarily, such as the issue being raised here at Community Central.

It's always important to assume good faith, and "This user is lying" does not assume good faith, but "This user might be a bit confused, allow me to explain. The edits were made from a project that aimed to clear out unnecessary and useless pages from the wiki, not to intentionally vandalize the wiki." See the difference between the two? One clearly assumes bad faith and can potentially drive people away from the wiki, while the other made it clear that there was some confusion, and then aims to try and clear it up. Confusion can lead to unnecessary conflicts, so clearing out confusion can stop 99% of "unfair blocks" and "edit warring" that occurs around Wikia every day.

So, hail to the almighty talk page, where discussions clear confusion to prevent against unnecessary disputes.
