For the admins, you may have known that Variousthings3251 (2) (or Constiff3251) is still permanently blocked in this wiki. He may have threatened to sockpuppet under multiple IP accounts to vandalize the wiki (and already created a sockpuppet account, most notably seen Thread:334534). There were suspicions that he was Kool Saif Mohammad; however, there is no evidence to that.

Over the six months, he does seem to improve a lot, working in different wikis and most notably, in Piano Tiles Wiki he has a pretty huge following (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjwIeCbLF_REZxKuns_77XQ, 267 subscribers as of the time writing), the admin there User:BowserFanKai congratulated him for reaching a high score, and he actually contributed a decent amount at adding information.

While this isn't to say that we should unblock Variousthings3251 (2) since our community needs to decide whether or not we should unblock him, but it just goes to show that how different things can be, and how a user's behavior can undergo such a big change over the course of a long time.

However, this is where I have to take a look at Special:Log/block. Scanning through a lot of pages and I see that there are a ridiculous amount of accounts that popped up as sockpuppets. Creating so many accounts to vandalize (possibly by bots) is very strange. Hopefully, they are not done by Variousthings, since that would completely change my entire perspective on him.
