- Hi there!
- You should try an update to a current version of MediaWiki - 1.16 is no longer supported and has known security holes.
- For me the script works as expected: Correct numbers and also deleting accounts works. Note that the script only considers those accounts, which never had any log entries. That means: Even if you deleted the only spam page, which was created by a user, this user will not be considered unused anymore; it is not enough to only remove the spam revisions, you actually have to delete them from the database completely (e.g. with the deleteArchivedRevisions.php script). --88.130.83.103 00:27, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Using Array to get user list edit
Just a note that using an array to get all users prior to deleting them is not a good method. I have over 300,000 spam users I am trying to remove and my server is a small (amazon ec2 micro) server. So PHP is eating all the cpu and mem. It would be better to do them in batches at least.
