Hello, I'm an admin on the English Wikipedia and when mass deletion of pages happens, usually the result of the discovery of a sockpuppet, the Nuke tool doesn't delete the Talk pages along with the articles and drafts. Is this an intentional feature? Because it leaves orphaned talk pages that have to be cleaned up afterwards. Could you fix the tool so it works like Twinkle and talk pages are deleted along with article and draft pages? Thanks.

Hi Liz, thanks for the suggestion! This is on the list of issues we plan to fix as part of the improvement project we're just starting. We're still figuring out the technical approach for this particular feature, but you can follow the discussion at T95797 :)
My team is going to work on a few-months project to make improvements to the Nuke extension's features and functionality. Further details can be found at Extension:Nuke/2024 Moderator Tools project.
What are you talking about?
The internal name for system administrators, aka admins.
How can we configure the list of reasons? On Wikidata, we often have users create many empty pages, and we prefer to indicate that in the deletion reason.
So I have found that the list of popup reasons is configured on MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown, and "Empty item" appears on the list of reasons for namespace 0. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to get namespace-specific reasons to show up in the interface.
how do i fix this error it happens when i try to block a user from the wiki?

I nuked a few thousands pages in my wiki to clean up some spam vandalism and the pages haven't been moved to the archive table. The spam is still in the text and content tables, but there are no references to these records in the archive or revisions tables.
Running maintenance/deleteArchivedRevisions.php or maintenance/purgeOldText.php doesn't cleanup the database, and there is still activity attributed to the spam accounts, so I can't clean them up with maintenance/removeUnusedAccounts.php.
Does anyone know why this might have happened ? This is a wiki that began at 1.35, so I suspect that the changes to the database have something to do with it, but I'm really not sure.
Hello, I would like to use Nuke to delete old pages. How can I modify it to be able to delete older pages?
If you have access to LocalSettings, you can change the duration in which recentchanges are recorded to an arbitrary timespan. We repeatedly set it to over a year, then run the rebuildrecentchanges php script, and the desired articles were available to Nuke.
Specifically in LocalSettings.php set
// Two years $wgRCMaxAge = 2 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60;
and run
php maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php
Then reset wgRCMaxAge and rerun rebuildrecentchanges.php.
To avoid having a list of thousands of deleted pages you might want to set wgRCMaxAge to 0, run maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php and then remove the setting. The list of recent pages will then start from empty.
Does a "MassRollback" extension exists?
I have a private wiki and I need to delete every page created by a certain bot. This is on the order of 10^5 pages created over the past five years, only a few thousand of which are edited by the bot in a given month. Is there a way to extend the Nuke threshold to include an arbitrarily long time period like this?

same question here... We have tons of spam pages but none of them are showing up, would be helpful to be able to specify dates or search all dates... thanks!
same question here. I'd like to delete pages that I didn't notice years ago from certain spam accounts. Is there a way to just delete everything by a user?

why call it nuke? 2600:387:5:805:0:0:0:6B 01:03, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
People thought it was funny at the time it was created I guess. Anyhow, what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
