Wikia got to me with this:

"Hi,

Thanks for contacting Fandom. I'm sorry that you're having this issue.

The IPs I see with the account are from different ranges. Unfortunately, it looks like this person has the ability to obscure/alter their IP address, which is the only real way to block a user. That means range blocks and other technical measures won't help.

But what will help is blocking each new account as it appears. I know it's tedious, but it does (eventually) work. The key is "block, revert, ignore". And, of course, it's important to make sure you have all parts in place. That means block him with a neutral block reason, then remove any damage he's done on the wiki, and otherwise ignore totally. If you are on chat, you should be sure that no one talks about the person just blocked, or argues with him, or gives him any sort of feedback at all (remember, he may be watching or about to return and see the backlog). Just quietly remove him and then refuse to give him what he wants - recognition and attention.

The best analogy I've found for what trolls do, is someone kicking over an anthill. They knock it over, and find it fun to watch all the ants run out and frantically try to fix things. If there were no reaction from the ants, no one would bother kicking the hill! What's the point of kicking a pile of mud that does nothing?

Hope this helps,"
