Metroid Article Vandalism

At the top of the Article for Metroid I am seeing a banner with the following text, which cannot be removed through simple editing of an article. It states the following, and blocks all but a tiny sliver of the page from being readable at any given time on my Android phone:

This must be investigated, and whomever had access to alter the page in such a fashion should have their permissions PERMANENTLY REVOKED. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.116.183.196 (talk) 17:23, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

I've had a look at it but more experienced editors like the Developers will need to look at this. I can't see any template or text in the source edit which has those comments etc. It does seem like major vandalism but don't know how to revert it as vandalism. S.

Is this vandalism from Template:Vanchor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TradeJackLandSim (talk • contribs) 01:05, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Yes. The vandalism has been removed from public view in the page history. Automatic updating of pages using a template sometimes takes a while. Purging a given page will force an immediate update. PrimeHunter (talk) 08:51, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
