Thanks for reverting the edits of that vandal. In cases of vandalism you can use the rollback option to easily revert their edits and to delete those edits from the Wiki Activity page. In that way is almost like if we "erase" their existence, which ultimately is just a plague for the Wiki. It also reverts all edits in just one click and not only the last one like the "undo" option does.

For example, in the vandalism to Category:Locations, the vandal made several edits, but just the last one was reverted. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the rollback there because it only works when the target is the last user who edited the page, and since in this case another user edited it later I had to revert them in the "normal" way. However, you could have used it to save a few steps.

The rollback option is intended to be used only against vandals, actually; not to revert other edits not considered vandalism.

I will note them anyway because I'm constantly checking the Recent Changes page and all edits appear there, no matter if they were reverted using the rollback, so I can discover them and block them.
