It would be very useful to be able to perform operations on selections in MediaWiki. Some special pages already work this way such as Special:NukeDPL, but it would be better to use Special:Workflow for this which allows one to select articles using a DPL query, or pasting a list in directly (also a link in the actions could allow the current article as a selection). Then this selection can be refined further using checkbox list, or an operation from a list of many can be performed on the selection.
The available operations should be easily extendable in-wiki, and should later be able to be performed from the job queue. It should be able to be easily connected to existing selection-based special pages like Special:Nuke.
Some operations that would be very useful over selections are:
- Delete
- Delete history
- Undo last revision
- Move revision back to a particular date
- Regexp rename title
- Regexp replace content
- Prepend content
- Append content
- Add to category
- Remove from category
- Update template parameters
