Overview

Vandal has been active since at least April 2014. They seem most into submitting fake categories, corrupting formatting, and numerical vandalism. It is unclear if they are a human, or a bot. They tend to use edit summaries that generally differ from one another in subtle ways, although they do re-use edit summaries. Most of their edit summaries contain either a month, a year, a combination of month and year, or some corrupted version of a month or year, like Marhc 20157. For lack of another reason to name them, their misspelling of March as Marhc is why I call them the Marhc vandal. The vandal has also been referred to as the "(2015) vandal".

Behavioral traits

Often uses edit summaries that contain years, (2014, 2015) sometimes well into the future, (2019) sometimes butchered (20119). User also sometimes combines months and years like March 20157), and they often misspell March as Marhc.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Chiller&diff=prev&oldid=618774566[1][2][3]. Sometimes other words appear in their summary, like Mashed, Mahesh, or Mane instead of March. Blanking, category additions not supported by article prose that are in many cases completely wrong. [4][5] Vandal tends to focus in the world of children's television and they have been active since at least April 2014.

User also tends to append "(2015)" randomly in articles.[6][7] and I've seen indications of the vandal changing days like Saturday to "monday-friday", often in lowercase, like here.

(My edit history with Marhc tags)

There is also an Elmhurst/Astoria/Jackson Heights/Jamaica New York based IP vandal that does category vandalism, for example 108.6.108.129 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) but it is unclear if they are related. This vandal doesn't usually employ edit summaries.
