NukeDPL extension
A new special-page extension has been made today called NukeDPL which is based on Brion Vibber's Nuke extension. The original allows sysops to list all new pages created by a particular user or IP address, and delete selected items from the list. NukeDPL uses the same delete-from-list methodology, but allows the list of deletion candidates to be selected by a DPL query.
I'm using this to remove all the olf XmlWiki XML-properties articles, I'm just doing this a bit at a time for now since the new extension is still in beta state. After they're all deleted I plan on purging all the deleted article's histories from the database (probably by using the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SpecialDeleteOldRevisions SpecialDeleteOldRevisions extension).
- The code for the new extension is SpecialNukeDPL.php
- See MW:Extension:NukeDPL for details on usage and installation.
