One thing I'd like to add in here: admins are humans as well. Considering that multiple participants in this thread have either directly caused disruptions or expressed some form of ill will towards the subject-admins in linked threads, I'd think it very understandable that they're now on very high alert and possibly jumping the gun -- I'm not sure anyone can blame them for it.

Now, as for actually resolving the situation: personally, I'm not so sure that users who were either directly involved in the vandalism or otherwise expressed ill will towards the admins or desire to cause further are really the best people to be pursuing solution via appeals to authority, particularly in the overall manner seen when this thread as well as this one are taken into account. Coming from 2 or 3 users who were involved in the issues mentioned above, this can be taken as a continued attack on that wiki and/or the admins via appealing to Staff by exploiting their alarm that you provoked.

My own advice, assuming that you want to reach a constructive solution as quickly as possible, is for those of you who either vandalised or expressed a desire for revenge/other forms of ill will to honestly back off. The people who should actually be appealing for help or advice are those who genuinely weren't involved with your activities, but for you guys to try anything, it'll just continue looking like you're doing all of this as a proxy form of revenge or retaliation. The less you're getting involved and making it look like you're trying to frame the admins (because that's honestly what it looks like to me), the sooner they'll have a chance to calm down and feel that you've actually decided to leave them in peace -- that's when the admins can relax and stop wondering if any new face is directly tied to you.

This is of course assuming that your actual goal here is what you're saying -- if what you're actually trying to do is use the Staff members as an indirect way of attacking the admins, then I'd imagine you won't have much success, considering what I said above about how all your combined actions thus far would put anyone on edge.

Also, I'm well aware you might not like reading what I've written, but I'm simply stating what was observed in the provided links, and the most practical solution I can think of with respect to reducing the number of innocent users being banned (I have no interest in actively trying to attack the admins in question). You're quite welcome to disregard it entirely if it's not to your liking.
