Hi MediaWiki-ers,
One of our developers accidentally kicked off a script to auto-populate a wiki with test data on one of our production wikis. We don't actually want to keep any of his edits. Is there an easier way to remove all of his edits than going to each page the script touched and deleting or reverting it? This developer was using his own user-name and has never made an edit to the wiki that we want to keep (the script edited under his username).
I thought there may be a spam removal extension that would do something similar to what I need, but I was unable to find one.
Thanks! Courtney Christensen

Thank you, Mark! I agree, Nuke does look like what I need. One tiny problem is I can't figure out if there is a version in SVN that will work with MediaWiki 1.9.2 Unfortunately, upgrading the wiki at this time is not an option, but it is planned for the upcoming months...
