The DeletePagesForGood extension allows users to delete pages permanently from the database by adding a new delete tab to each page. Even if you permanently delete a page, the page title, how many edits does the page have and the time of edits can still be seen through CheckUser if you enter the user or IP address who created or edited the page.
Installation
