Dear Frederik, I do not think that reverting his railway edits is a good idea. I've reverted the mass retagging already and otherwise he's tagged many signals on his own, adding valuable data - although using a non-agreed-upon tagging schema. (Which he's now apparently trying to remove from the wiki - taking previous railway wiki editors work as collateral damage, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/HaPe-CZ&target=HaPe-CZ&offset=&limit=100). Nevertheless when a consensus (hopefully through the proposal I started) about Czech railway signal tagging is reached, it shouldn't be hard to semi-automatically convert his schema (and perhaps parts of the original schema as well) to the new agreed-upon tagging.
The same goes for his near future edits - he regularly adds new details to otherwise untagged signals (although using his schema and with questionable accuracy at times). And I would argue that's somewhat acceptable until the time when a unified schema is finalized. If he sticks to one consistent schema, then his newer edits can also be automatically converted to the new standard. So I do not think blocking him at this point is the best course of action. Only if he continues to tag using his schema after/if a unified schema is established, would I argue that extending the block would be appropriate.
