There is a proposal to enable the Nuke extension for most wikis at Metapub: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metapub#Enable_mw:Extension:Nuke_on_WMF_wikis _by_default The extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke) allows sysops to mass-delete recent page creations by a single user. So for spambots and page creation vandals, this speeds up deleting their pages. It won't delete old pages, and it won't delete an arbitrary list of pages - only recent ones, and only pages by a single user. While the extension is powerful, it doesn't give admins any abilities they don't already have. Part of the proposal is that some wikis (probably large ones) will want to decide for themselves - if your home wiki falls into that category, then perhaps it should be added to the list of wikis which will not be affected. Please consider that this will be useful for the small wikis where stewards may need to mass-delete pages by a spambot/vandal - the intent is not to force wikis with communities to have this extension. Such communities should not be included in the proposal (but I don't know which ones those are, so I need your help to list them). Thanks, Mike
