Sorry for the inconvenience, but yes, let me explain what I saw at the time of blocking:

When I had blocked you, I saw you had attempted to make an edit (twice) that would have appeared to vandalize one of our articles (as shown in the abuse log). I then issued you our minimum 1 month block for vandalism/attempted vandalism.

After further going through our logs, I had noticed that the edits you had attempted to perform was exactly the same as this destructive edit. I then presumed that you were either a sockpuppet of that user created to avert their block, or that you were merely a copycat or member of some raid. These types of offenses are considered grounds for indefinite blocks; I adjusted your block accordingly.

However, upon your claim on our Discord that you are unaware of the reasons behind your block, I investigated further and found that your edits seemed to be attempts to undo an edit, but the edit you were undoing was an edit that reverted vandalism. I then even did more investigation and...

In short, it appears that you were involved in some editing spat with another user on this wiki and that you may have been blindly reverting their edits. One of their edits undid vandalism, and you had attempted to undo the reversion and in turn essentially would have vandalized an article yourself.

I see now that this was all unintentional, but situations like this is precisely why edit warring is expressly prohibited on our wiki. You have been issued a warning for edit warring, which would normally be sufficient for a first offense; however, due to your unintentional unconstructive edit and the time it took to investigate this incident– our policy on edit warring will be applied in full with your account remained blocked, albeit with a shorter duration.

Your block has been reduced from indefinite to 2 weeks. Please be more careful next time and take a look at our rules.
