I believe there is a script, probably in
/maintenance,
nukeRevisions.php, to do this. I know no more at the moment, or
whether Wikimedia's Oversight is available for use.
Oversight isn't permanent deletion for the purposes of *removing the
data from the database*, it just shifts it somewhere MediaWiki doesn't
know about. To wipe old data and free up disk space, you would use
maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php. Please read the --help information
for that script.
