As FelineIva said, "If not, you can head over to...". If there is an active admin/content moderator, then it is up to them to handle the situation. Since you have already done this, the situation is considered resolved and there isn't much, if anything for VSTF to do. In general, it is encourages that issues be handled locally.

Ask for help if:
 * 1) An anonymous vandal uses multiple IP addresses. If they are all within a certain range, you can use a special range block.

Report things to VSTF if:
 * 1) There is no active admin/content moderator/bureaucrat. I threw bureaucrat in there because a bureaucrat can self-promote to admin/content moderator to deal with the vandalism.
 * 2) The user committing the vandalism has done the same type of vandalism across several wikis.

Repot things to staff if:
 * 1) A user is underage.
 * 2) There is a conflict between local admin/content moderators/bureaucrats.
 * 3) There is a conflict with a user in a global user group and the issue cannot be resolved locally.
 * 4) A user is using sockpuppets to avoid a block. This means they are creating alternate accounts with the intent of avoiding blocks. Note that some users have alternate accounts for legitimate reasons.
 * 5) There is a violation of Wikia's terms of use.
