I’m not quite sure what you want. An IP address may be used by one or many anonymous
contributors (workplaces, universities and schools can often appear to Wikipedia as a
single IP address). Each of those contributors may make one or more edits. Each of those
edits may be vandalism (a deliberate intention to damage and hopefully reverted), poor
quality but good faith edits (which are reverted for a wide variety of reasons) or
acceptable contributions.
Also there is a reluctance to block a known multi-user IP address because of misbehaviour
by what appears to be one person.
So, when you say “IP addresses that are vandalism”, can you more specific about what you
want or don’t want?

Dear Listserv,
Hope all is well. I am mapping IP address edits per country for 271
language Wikipedias. I would like to exclude IP addresses that are
vandalism. I was thinking of using the ipblocks table for the IP addresses
to be excluded. Because this project is in so many different languages and
my programming skills are intermediate, I would like to use the Wikipedia
tables or registers that the Wikipedians in those language use to mark
vandalism. If anyone has another idea, I would be most grateful. Perhaps I
am missing a way that Wikipedians across languages are using to mark
vandalism.
Thank you,
Tom
