Hello Anahdraw Naidra. :)

Indeed, you are correct that specific IP block was not targeted towards you. If your ISP assigns you random IP address then that would be the likelihood cause for how you stumbled upon using that blocked IP.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of an allowed method to bypass global IP blocks. There are certain global user groups that have permission to be exempted from global blocks (which is called "phalanxexempt") but it is not something given out sadly to my knowledge.

I apologize at how this IP blocked interrupted your edits. It has been deleted now and if you were to switch back to the IP in question - you would have no issues with it now. If you ever run into more IP blocks that you feel that were not targeted towards you - you may contact a member of the vstf about it or use Special:Contact/general and we will get it sorted out for you as quickly as we can. :)
