You could use Extension:UserMerge to merge Spam-accounts into one account, e.g. "User:Spam".
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge
To prevent the creation of spam-accounts, I would recommend Extension:ConfirmEdit with module QuestyCaptcha.

Many thanks for this! :-)
For some reason as I was unable to manipulate the DB at all...
I kept getting this in my logs:
postgres[25219]: [6-1] ERROR: column "current_query" does not exist at character 39
The only alternate was to "Drop" the database and then rebuild from a 'clean' backup.

Hi,
for some reason I've managed to get a huge wad of Spam user accounts and I have no idea how to delete them.....
I know I can block them but is it possible to delete?
Also I have installed the BlockAndNuke extension but whenever I try to run it (select Block Users) I get this error:
A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.
Could it be because there are too many and my system doesn't have the resources to delete everything?? 8GB RAM though plenty of swap on SSD.....
Or is it because I'm using Postgresql as my DB backend?
Thanks!
