Targeted areas, pages, themes

  1. Moves the positions of actress Raleigh Shuck and the character she plays in this show, Lila, in the cast and characters part of the article. Characters in this article are sorted by their importance to the story, and the cast is sorted in a similar way. Shuck and her character should normally be classified as a side character, however, this editor moves them to "main characters".
  2. Moves the position of character Kendra Klee and the actress that plays her.
  3. Moves the start date for both the series and some episodes forward by a day or a few days (e.g. from February 19 to February 20)
  4. Adds that the series and season 3 is ending in 2022.
  5. Adds information about a fake show, Lila & Jasmine.
  6. Adds that the series is related to Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, ToddWorld, Donkey Hodie, and/or Lila & Jasmine.
  7. This user is also connected to both this article and the one for Donkey Hodie, because the main vandalism that this user adds is the claim that Donkey Hodie is based on the Pinkalicious book series, when it is actually based on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
  8. Changed the airdates to false airdates; moved the season 5 start date from February 13, 2023 to April 17, 2023, and moved episode 304's airdate from October 11 to April 8 when it didn't air at the time.
  1. Replaces the article content with that of Pinkalicious & Peterrific.
  2. Moves the airing date of the series and some episodes by a few months or days, or states that the series is set to end in 2022.
  3. Removes most mentions of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood from the Donkey Hodie article, instead replacing them with mentions of the Pinkalicious book series or the show Pinkalicious & Peterrific.
  4. Removes the cast list, and replaces it with a template stating not to add cast members until the show premieres or is sourced to a reliable source. (note: Donkey Hodie has been out for some time now, and a few reliable articles cover the cast and crew.)
  5. Removes the theme song, language, and, sometimes, the "based on" section in the article's infobox. (They are more likely to replace "Based on the characters of the Neighborhood of Make-Believe by Fred Rogers" with "Based on [the] Pinkalicious book series by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann", instead of removing the section.)
  6. Replaces 9 Story Media Group with 2 companies who were not involved in creating the TV show; particularly the studios Sixteen South (studio that works on Pinkalicious & Peterrific) and Curious Pictures (a defunct studio).
  7. Replaces cast member Haley Jenkins (the actress who plays the character Donkey Hodie in the show) with Raleigh Shuck (an actress who plays a minor character, Lila, in Pinkalicious & Peterrific).
  8. Replaces a producer and developer named Ellen Doherty with Victoria Kann (one of the authors of the original Pinkalicious book series).
  9. Adds Todd Parr as an author for the Pinkalicious books, and adds his original show ToddWorld as a related show

Habitual behavior

The vandal ignores all talk page requests, does not communicate, and continues until they are blocked. Once unblocked, they tend to vandalize again on the same IP range, or on another IP range once blocked.

It is possible that their main range, 2603:7080:8c06:4e6c::/64 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)), along with some of their other IPs, may be a shared IP range used by multiple users due to the variety of different subjects edited on the range besides the vandalizing edits, such as high school pages and other TV, movie, and music-related pages.

One IP they have used, 173.243.160.62 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), is an IP address belonging to the Shenendehowa Central School District in Clifton Park.
