Help:Extension:Nuke/it

L'estensione Nuke è utile per cancellare in massa pagine non volute (spam, vandalismi…). Prima della cancellazione, le pagine possono essere filtrate per editore, titolo, e/o namespace, e le pagine singole pagine sono elencate per cancellazione effettiva.

Si noti che, al contrario dell'operazione di "rollback" (detta anche "revert"), Nuke cancella intere pagine con la loro cronologia. Se vuoi cancellare singoli contributi ma mantenere le pagine, devi usare la funzione "rollback" (di default concessa a amministratori(sysops)).

Utilizzo

Go to the page Special:Nuke or search Cancellazione di massa in the list of special pages. You must have the right nuke (granted to administrators (sysops) by default, see User rights and groups). Also, there is a link “cancella massivamente” on the top of the page listing the contributions of a user or IP address (Special:Contributions).

First screen, with the various criteria to select pages.

On the first screen, before deleting pages, you have to select the pages according to certain criteria:

• User name or IP address;
• Page name, or pattern of page names (see below for the syntax);
• A specific namespace or all namespaces

You can enter one or multiple criteria. If you enter multiple criteria, pages matching all the criteria will be selected. If you enter no criteria, all recent pages will be selected.

Second screen, listing individual pages

After clicking on “Elenca pagine”, you get a second screen where the selection is displayed and you can select or unselect individual pages. You can modify the reason displayed in the logs, and then click on “Cancella la selezione”.

A confirmation of the actual deletions is then displayed. All deletions are logged in the general deletion log Special:Log/delete.

Pattern of page names

Wildcards can be used in the field “Pattern SQL LIKE (ad esempio %) per il nome della pagina:”, specifically SQL LIKE wildcards:

• _ (underscore) means exactly one character;
• % (percent sign) means zero or any number of characters.

Page names must be written in the database-encoded form, corresponding to the page name in the URL (where underscore are used for spaces, and a capital letter is used as first letter if the namespace is case-insensitive).

Three characters must be encoded specifically:

• the space “ ” must be encoded as \_ (because an underscore alone is the wildcard “one character”)
• the percent sign “%” must be encoded as \%
• the backslash sign “\” must be encoded as \\

Frequently asked questions

Does Nuke free disk space?

No. The pages are deleted like the classical operation “delete” in MediaWiki: they are removed from public view, but administrators can still view them and restore them. Other extensions like DeletePagesForGood can permanently delete pages.

Can I mass-delete pages according to a manual list?

Currently no. There is another extension, DeleteBatch, which has this feature. The task T68447 was opened to request this feature in Nuke.

Why are some pages meeting the criteria not listed?

The search is restricted to recent modifications, where "recent" is given by the configuration parameter $wgRCMaxAge (by default 90 days). The task T33858 requests the feature of searching all pages, not just recent pages.
