I'm replying here to your message on the Pedal Shot Wiki so that the person in question is less likely to see it.

Regarding seeing where people have been, sometimes that information is displayed in the profile header for their account. For example, if you at the top of this page, it probably won't show anything below your name because you haven't edited here yet. However, if you go over to my profile, it shows that "My favorite wikis" are for Phineas and Ferb, The Simpsons, Moviepedia and one of the two Antagonists wikis.

So that's one way to check. Another is after a few days, what they did might be recorded by search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo. I can type in their user name and add wikia at the end to help narrow the search. If the user name is a really common phrase, it's not as big a help, but it's something.

In the case of a person like this who keeps going back to the same wikis, that usually gives me a starting point and I can figure out where they might go from there.

Finally, Fandom employees and VSTF volunteers have access to some tools that provide a comprehensive report of where an account has visited and can help connect accounts and/or IP addresses together. I'm not in either group, but did was given the opportunity to join the VSTF a couple of years ago. I didn't have a web cam or Skype at the time, so I couldn't participate. Instead, I just rely on the notes I keep about vandals I run across so that I can figure out when they've come back and reduce the amount of nuisance or damage they can cause.
