Is there any tool to delete all the pages on the data-base having been written by a given User ? I think it is the easiest way to recover vandalized pages, is that true ?
On the data base, I cannot find out were are the pages. Could you tell me ?
Thanks

I believe there's a Special:Nuke page in the extensions module of the CVS repository, but it's in an experimental stage, and may not work as desired.
Pages are stored in the page table; revision information is stored in the revision table, while the text itself is stored in the text table. For full details on the database schema, see the documentation on Meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org), the official web site (http://www.mediawiki.org), and the well-commented Schema.sql file in the maintenance directories.

Special:Contributions/username lists the edits for a particular user. The only way I know to deal with graffiti is to do it manually. There are some bots and such to help with rollbacks, but no official tool exists. =(
