Yes, I saw the vandalism and I banned that guy first thing in the morning, seeing as the vandalism occurred in the middle of the night for me. But that's pretty much the extent to which vandal handling goes in most cases. The vandalism is undone and the vandal is banned. There is no real "smite button" that we can just easily use to get rid of the vandalism from the edit history. There are options on how to handle pesky vandals more easily, but we've never really had to resort to them. Not sure if there even are options for removing something entirely from history though. Wikia likes keeping logs of everything, after all.

If you're referring to the "Vandal Slaying" button on our site's top bar, it actually just leads to a forum thread where we used to report vandalism when our admins didn't keep track of edits that much. Honestly speaking, that thread actually fell into disuse after I became an admin and could just handle all the vandals myself, seeing as I kept track of the edit feed several times a day. The old thread also became quite redundant when our community started using Discord, as the few cases where a vandal isn't handled within minutes of causing trouble is usually just reported on Discord nowadays, as the chat allows pinging mods about important issues and these pings can notify us via phone notifications.
