The Nuke extension makes it possible for sysops to mass delete pages.
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
Nukefolder to yourextensions/directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Nuke - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'Nuke' );
- Configure as required.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
The user right "nuke" is automatically granted to the "sysop" user group.
To decouple this and assign this right to a dedicated new user group such as nuke add the following to your LocalSettings.php file:
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['nuke'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['nuke']['nuke'] = true;
Maximum age
By default, Nuke will only list pages that were created as recent as what is shown on Special:RecentChanges (controlled by $wgRCMaxAge; 90 days by default).
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.44 Gerrit change 1089919 |
This can be configured to use a different duration with the $wgNukeMaxAge configuration setting.
For example, to restrict Nuke to only allow deleting pages up to 30 days old, add the following to your LocalSettings.php file:
$wgNukeMaxAge = 30 * 86400;
Usage
Go to Special:Nuke in order to mass delete pages recently added by a user or IP address. If you don't want to filter by user, you can also just filter by namespace.
The special page is listed under Special:SpecialPages as Mass delete.
You can also specify a pattern for the page title.
The field accepts SQL wildcards, like %lol%.
All deletions, as usual, are recorded in Special:Log/delete.
